243AI Load

[lennywd87]

I stumbled upon a sweet little load for 103 eld-x in my 243AI, while testing powders for my 6.5-06AI. Mag Pro powder wasn’t getting me over 2700, with a wide SD in the 06AI. However, with the .243AI I was able to get up to 3300fps with no pressure signs and worked up to near the same load capacity (compressed) as the 6.5-06AI topped out at. SD sat around 5 and Groups were sub moa, so I figured I’d share the good news.

This is awesome news, ill have to give mag pro I try! I'm a huge fan of the 243AI, I have two 22" 243AI's and a few 18" barrel shorties as well!

Some of my loads right now with a 22” 243AI are 3150fps with a 112gr Barnes match burner, and 3600fps with a badlands precision 80gr Bulldozer 2. You get a lot out of a long barrel with the 243AI, my next one will be 24” or 26”
