[QUOTE="dave7mm, post: 401680, member: 147"] If I had to do it again i'd run the 243 AI.That shoulder angle on the standard 243 is just alot of trimming.I dont like trimming that much.That brass is comming from somewhere. I ran the 115g DTAC, David Tubb Accuracy bullet, quite a bit.No matter what I tried I just didnt like it at 300 yards.Shouldn't be any surprise at its throated for 105 class bullets.Danged Rel 25 would give 3133fps for 47 grains,all I could get in the case.It would shoot pretty good and then burn me.I gave up on them.Thought about throating it deeper just to use the DTAC.But it was easery to just try something else. Ran 105g JLK vld bullets.Not impressed.Nice looking bullet and all,just didnt shoot very well in my gun. Ended up with the 105g AMAX.Just seems more consistant at 300 yards.The load was 45.5g of Rel 22 with a standard Wolf primer and a Laupa case ,ran the 105 about .01 off the lands. [IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c90/dave7mm/trees2010018.jpg[/IMG] The rock barrel was Ultra coated and the DTAC bullets are BN coated. The only blue I got out of this thing cleaning it,was off the jag. Hard to believe you could run a bullet as long as a 115g DTAC at 3100 + and not get copper fouling.But im here to tell you. The BN coating from Tubbs is the only way to fly.It leaves a very slick, cloudy type of finish on the bullet.That doesnt rub off.AND, ITS NOT BLACK CHIT.I never was much of a fan of that BLACK CHIT and now that I've got a good look at BN coating im going to switch over from Danzak as soon as I can swing it. The 105g AMAX is fine shooting bullet only problem right now seems to be getting them.My buddie DonKnows used this 243 to drill a couple of chucks the other night.This amax puts a window in a woodchuck.Nasty big hole.Almost to the point of cutting them in half. Little strip of hide top and bottem and a big hole in the middle. A Texas Chainsaw Massacre with every pull of the trigger.The pic up top does not do justice to the hole you see there.Unreal. Cant see myself usuing this round on a deer.No way. Im making one more mod to the rifle before the killen starts for real.Im having Randy the gunsmith install a Defensive Edge brake tomorrow morning.One more trip to the range for a quick check.And its ready. The soybeans are just breaking ground.Time for Elsie to earn her keep. dave [/QUOTE]
