[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 1706043, member: 67515"] I’m looking to rechamber to 243AI to rid of the dreaded case stretch. I’ve always liked cases with 30 or 40 degree shoulders so that appeals to me. Definitely will appreciated the added velocity. Should be able to reach my velocity goals without too much pressure. I only shoot heavy for caliber bullets like 105 VLD or ELD-X. I don’t need load this cartridge over 3200FPS. That should be plenty for good performance. I’ve read somewhere that AI design reduces throat erosion. Barrels last longer than the standard 243Win. What’s your opinion on that. Are there any reasons not to fire form for the AI? I’ve also heard that AI cases last longer mostly because of the shoulder dimensions. What are some of you using for the heavier bullets. I’m using mostly RE23 for the 243 WIN. [/QUOTE]
