243AI, is it dead in the water?

[Kanoeking]

I've had no feeding problems with 105's, Nosler Ballistic Tips, and Nosler AB's through a 24" tube. I'm focused exclusively on hunting, and shooting to determine the best loads for my rifle ( a Remington 700 by the way). 1moa (and just under on my good days) at 150 yards will put meat in the freezer.

Have you look loaded any 115's before?

Any one tried the new Winchester Staball 6.5 powder yet ?

No KanoeKing, I haven't tried those. I have been thinking about giving the Hammers a look.

Do give the hammers a look you will be impressed one heck of a bullet for hunting very accurate and spectacular on game performance

Been using Hammers this year in 6.5CM , 25/06AI and 243AI. Killed my last deer this season with the 83gr Hammer. Through and through at 204. Great performance. Gonna try some 100s next year in the 243AI and some 130s in a 6.5-06AI. I'm sold on the hammers!

What sort of BC's are these Hammer pills claiming?

Sounds good! I'm gonna have to try some in my 6.5 Gibbs which is the 6.5-06AI on steroids as well as the 243AI and the 25:06AI.

I have two AI's that feed just fine.

 

[GLTaylor]

Feeding is a non-issue with AI cartridges. I have 5. None were modified

 

[Kanoeking]

Are most of you guys running the 243 AI using 105's or 115's?

 

[GLTaylor]

I'm shooting 105s. Don't know if I have enough twist for the 115s.

I'm working with it in a 300WSM, it shows promise but its touchy

I've been shooting the new 109 Berger hybrid lately., Awesome. They changed the configuration enough that its not seat sensitive like the VLD and the nose design allows better room in the mag.
