[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2743028, member: 113404"] First go at the Ackley recently, and ya'll probably sick of hearing about it, but anyway here is what I came to discover. For instance my .2443 AI... It's as laser beam accurate in .243 form as it is in AI form. I shot 25rnds, reloaded those 25 with 2gr powder increase and got 150fps more with AI. 3400fps to 3550fps. That 3550 is conservative too. I could push harder, but with the primers looking so good after firing at 3550, I'm good! SO, in my grand scheme of things with this rig, I know what the fired brass will become and how to load it, now I just shoot it like a .243 until the day comes for the second and subsequent loads. It's like the gift that keeps on giving! So fun! Its like two guns in one! :p I think a lot of consternation comes from the "fireforming" "hassle". Well, my fireforming will be done while out havng fun with it and utilizing the components for what they are designed for. No wasting anything and keep the cream of wheat in the cupboards! Ok, till next time. Gonna run some 105 VLDs through it and you know what? I'm gonna come back and report it! 🤩🤘 [/QUOTE]
