Thanks, I have 2 243's that may work but I have not tried the heavier bullets to date. The heaviest I have shot in the 2 in question is 88gr Bergers and while accurate they are a flatbase bullet that is not designed for extreme range. They work great for what I do with them which is varmints of any size out to 400+ yards but for 1000 I am going to load the heaviest my rifle will shoot. I have some work to do at 200 and 300 before I make any decisions.
