[QUOTE="TMR, post: 492994, member: 5819"] As long as the rifle is built correctly, there will be no feeding issue's at all. The 243AI seems to have a bad name out there for feeding smoothly......not the case at all. I have built a ton of them, and run one in tactical comps, and can assure you that it feeds just as smoothly as the standard round. Make sure your smith has the reamer setup to feed from a mag box or detachable magazine and you will be fine with any of the VLD's. Really a guy should load the FF loads with standard 243 dies...at the very least, use the 243 FL sizer to round the necks, then you can seat them with the AI die backed off a little so the shoulder doesn't contact....but you are best served to use the 243 dies to start, then use the AI dies once the cases are formed. I use the standard Redding 243AI FL sizer die (non bushing), then a comp seater. Works like a champ and most of my clients use the same setup. The 243AI will do wonders with the 105-115gr bullets..
