Guest Sprags Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have kept it quiet but old Sprags has had his .243 rebarrelled and chambered in .243 AI, I was out with Chris today developing the load and setting it up, I must say that I am impressed. Heres a pic of the 5 shot group at 100yds Now, if I'm correct, which for once I think I may be, that makes the group 0.171 Now that is not bad at all is it?

menial 1 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 That group stopped you whinging about walking backwards and forwards to and from the target didn't it Gray? Told you you'd like the Ackley. Pete ( definitely the best looking out of the motley crew shooting today, only a mother could love 'em ) PS. You forgot to mention the spec of your big bucks custom rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention the spec of your big bucks custom rifle. Yes Pete, it did stop me whinging, my back is killing me by the way. And, yes, you did say I would like the Ackley and I do, it has impressed the hell out of me. "Only a mother could love em" You are not wrong mate!! Oh yeah, the spec of this 'big bucks custom rifle', we will have to leave that until tomorrow as I am in need of some beauty sleep Regards,Sprags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyH Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 That's a really great group! .243AI is a nice round for long range varminting; bit of a drag in this country though, having to get it certificated ostensibly for deer before you can use it for its primary purpose. Here's my Canadian friend's varmint rifle in the same calibre - customised Sako by Darrell Holland, Schneider barrel. He's taken groundhogs out to nearly 700 yards with it.
