[QUOTE="Jimm, post: 142454, member: 9"] nosis , My 243 rifles are the AI version but I am not using the full capacity of the case in the one I have antelope experience with . Load is a 107 smk in a lapua case over 41.6 grs. of H4350 lit by a Fed gm210 . Velocity is avg 305 fps . not very hot ..............but the accuracy is moa of gnat at 700 yds . The furtherest I have shot a speed goat with this combo is bumping 600 yds . but there was no problem energy wise at that distance . As a matter of fact that particular antelope hit the dirt upon bullet impact . And I have witness that is an oldtimer on this site , our very own BuffaloBob. I am quite sure that with good bullet placement ( double lungs ) the 243 std round is capable of killing cleanly to the 7 to 800 yd. mark . Come fall Lord willing I will see if it has longer legs than that . [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Jim B. [/QUOTE]
