I don't have a .243 AI, but I do have a 270 AI; same problem not much reloading info out there. I agree with what Venatic said: "use the load 45.1 that shot well to fireform all your brass". That shoots a nice pattern so you can use it for target/varmint shooting while you get a nice...

When I first bought my 300 RUM I was shooting factory 180 gr bullets and I honestly think it was giving me a slight concussion. I'd shoot 5 and have a headache for 2 days. I ended up putting a Limbsaver AirTech recoil pad with it's enclosed air chamber like individual airbags on, Night...

I too am curious what his max charge was. Here is an article I read that first tipped me off that I might need a faster twist. If you do the formula with the 150 Accubond LR (length of 1.390) it shows a twist rate of 1:8.2, assuming the formula is correct. Now I will say that in my...

I started down this rabbit hole with my Rem 700 270 and a 22" barrel about 4 years ago. I had always shot 130gr in the 270 win and was given a ton of older 150gr bullets, so I decided to find the max velocity I could push them for coyote hunting. The max i could find in any book was...

I threw a 26" 1:8 twist proof sendero light barrel on my 270 and chambered it to 270 A.I., initial patterning (after I shot 2 shots not set up on the bipod properly) with 150gr Long Range Accubonds running at 3200 fps measured .325". Love it!

We worked up a load with the 150gr ABLR and RL26 in my dad's old Savage 110 270 24" barrel. 59.5 grains was right at 3000 fps and a nice tight triangle pattern.

Long story short I went down a rabbit hole that started with just trying to shoot a bunch of old 150 grain bullets in my 270 win and stumbled onto the new at the time Reloder 26 that showed reloading data of over 3000 fps. Well I got the velocity and more but couldn't get a pattern under 2...

I have used the Terminal Ballistics Studies Match Grade Bedding Compound and liked it. It comes pre packaged for a job with enough to do a full Bedding job and no measuring just pour the little bottle into the tub and mix, and it has steel in it I believe. I was very impressed with the strength...

I used them on a Weatherby MK V 300 Weatherby with a Night force NXS 12-42 x 50 scope and had no movement. It doesn't have a break on it though so I don't know if it would hold up to that. I didn't lap the rings on that one either.

I'm sorry, looks like he found a buyer already.

Do you still have this scope for trade? My friend has a Nightforce 12x42x56 with the MLR reticle, would you be interested in that?

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah Cut Bank seems to take a lot of pride in its wtestling tournaments.

Hello, my name is Kevin and live in Cut Bank, MT, roughly 30 miles from Canada and 60 from the Rocky Mountain front. I am starting to get into long range shooting, however hunting out here can routinely call for 600 yard shots on deer. So far my longest shot has been on a 16" gong at 850 yards...
