[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 498040, member: 306"] I got my first Ackley in the 80's and I had about 15yrs reloading experience by then. I think I was lucky in that we didn't have computers and what I learned about the Ackley's was from experience shooters and it was face to face also the gunsmith that build my first AI was helpful. I've always used new barrels for my AI so cann't say what you get rechambering an existing barrel. Once you get past the fireform loading for the 243AI is pretty easy. I would use the start loads for the 243 and work up to max and if you can shoot over a chronograph and I think you should understand about pressure sign etc if going above max loads for the 243. I kind of agree with Eddie about reading up on the 243AI here a good place to start [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/243win.html].243 Win + .243 AI Cartridge Guide[/url] You might even do a search here. I've been shooting the 243 since 1965 and acouple years ago got a 243AI build and I use a hart 1/10 twist barrel pretty nice caliber. there alot of good gunsmith on this site that could help build a 243AI. Well good luck [/QUOTE]
