Hey, just wanting to see how the numbers look for powder selection in a 243AI.
I was planning to shoot either the 105VLD or A-Max and the 95g Nosler Partition.
I have an OAL of
2.8030" with the VLD
2.7575 with the A-Max and
2.6505" with the partition
The fireformed case will hold 55.7g H20. The barrel is 25" and the case OAL listed is all just touching.
I have on hand AR2225, AR2217, N165, N560, RL22, RL17. I had hoped to run as slow a powder as possible but it looks like the ADI powders are too bulky to get enough in the case and the double base powders for all the upsides (speed) are on the wrong side of the ledger for barrel life and long term accuracy. That leaves the N165 and RL22. Was hoping it would work or do I need to go to N160 or even ADI2213SC?
Batch variance and temperature sensitivity appears to crop up regularly when searching for RL22 loads?
Many thanks in advance
James
