[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1620503, member: 9299"] [I]"Maybe you need a .243 instead where you can shoot 55. to about 105gr[/I]" The .243" 105 AMAX/ELD has a BC of around .500, Berger 105 VLD BC .493 and 108gr .511, and the 108 ELD .536. The .224" 80gr ELD runs .48 and the [B]88 ELD BC .545, [/B]so using a fast twist 22/250 or AI yields higher velocity with less powder and similar or even less drop/drift at longer ranges than the 243 Win. I can push the 80gr ELD from my 22/250 AI at a mild and very accurate 3,400fps with 4831 and reach 3,550 fps with 7828SSC, and at my altitude of 8,000', the 88 ELD I drive at 3,250fps with a retained velocity at 1 mile of 1,420 fps.
