Really easy to get the 243 brass and fire form. Been shooting one for years super accurate try it you'll like it. Dan If I know Lance his decisions come down to the littlest detail for a reason why he shoots what he shoots even if its more work or similar. Plus he likes to shoot rifles most people don't have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong, I love AI and other "improved" cartridges. I have/had several (.250AI, .25-06AI, .280AI., 6.5SLR, 6.5SS) I considered another .250AI (I had a nice one for years) for this build. It shot a 115 @ 3000fps. This should do that as well, and the 6mm 115 has much higher BC than the .257" 115. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
win71 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 Realized after I commented you had already picked a cartridge and understand your brass reasoning. Was just throwing something out there. Good luck to you Dan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted January 31, 2019 I have had this rifle.out several.times to stretch it's legs. From 545 to 1251, it is amazing. Out at 1435, that is about the limits of where it is real consistent. Even small breezes start to really push the 105s around and open up groups to about 8" (I didn't hike up to measure that group). Still accurate enough to shoot at coyotes though. 5 shots @ 851 went into a 2" group Bring on an antelope tag! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
