[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 346390, member: 22262"] well i have spent the last hour trying to find what the difference of your 6mm-06AI and my 243 Super Rock Chucker (thats actually what mine is called) but i am unable to do so. I just tell people its a 243-06 because its more descriptive than a 243 SRC. I found the demintions for the 6mm-06AI on ammoguide but cant find any for the 243 SRC anywhere. From what i can tell by looking at what i found on ammoguide and from measuring one of my 243 SRC cases the only real difference is the sholder angle the 243 SRC has a 30degree shoulder and the 6mm-06AI has a 40 degree angle which means you will be able to get a little more speed out of yours. As far as cases goes i would use the 25-06 there will be less that has to be formed. You will have to fireform to get your steep sholder angle which just means you will have to load some up and shoot them and dont worry about where they go. Once you pull it out you will be able to tell a difference in the sholder angle. Now your ready to load. Find some cheep bullets to use to fireform so you dont use up all your good ones. I already gave you my reccomendation for bullet now i will reccomend that you try Reloader 17 for your powder. I just did some testing with this powder and the results were impressive.
