Thread: 85gn 243 ai....

Baldbob, have you measured the extra capacity your new AI has? If so, add that percentage to adi manual specs,

For the 85 grain projectile ADI lists a min of 35 grains of 2208 for 3020 fps and a max of 38 grains for 3210 fps.

For the 90 grainer a min of 34 grains of 2208 for 2965 fps and a max of 36.5 grains for 3105 fps.

2208 isnt the powder if you want the highest velocity in this case (pun included) but you get the picture in regards to ADI guidelines.

Yea andrew I got the gist of making up loads i fandangled up some stuff with N560 I just take all my load data for .243 and call my standard max loads minimums in the AI and work up......
Just interested to see what people may have used..
