far from an ego trip old boy,just prooving a point that well take information from the net,ang going by the commnets I was right

neither do I,dint even know how to turn one on.mind you I know how to shoot boar and many other speices of animals,keep taking the tablets you may get better soon

a bit of a silly reply stating you want to shoot something so rare as to silence the bores of this site maybe you should post here http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/forum/11-sporting-pictures/ as its seems theres alot of people who like to post photos of what they have shot.accoprding to you all that have posted there are bores posting photos has never been my bag apart from when its something real speical

well I do most of my hunting on the PS3 or the internet (never done anyhting aparantly),but this fellow reminds me of a memeber on here and is about the same age LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nylU-5d4bqU

carrying on from a post which got locked,for reasons is beyond me that only the thread starter got in too deep and started to make afool of himself who uses the internet to gain invaluable knowledge on hunting,reloading,shooting tecniques,gun maintanance,details of the quarry your hunting breeding cycles,habitat,feeding ect ect. basically anything to do with shooting,or do you listen to the grumpy old man proping up the counter in your local gunshop telling the "old ways" that you should be doing as thats all he knows. Iam sure we have all met the type "nay you canny do that lad no need to go over 100 yards,listen to me Ive been shooting 50 years"

Hold on kent I asked a simple question so why get so defensive I ask because I havnt reloaded one either but actually playing with any Ai you really find out what they can do

brand new box of 243 laua brass £85 delivered,now £120 from Midway

gun trader the good old days no one is arguing but sometimes the facts have to be posted when someone quite know what there talking about

so were all experts than

i know all about him,but the fact of the matter is and the point iam getting accross he did his homework using the internet and has acheieved more in that short time than certain people have in a life time matters not what anyone thinks of him.as we all know people are totally different in the real world and not tinernet world

go on then I will play. what exactly is an expert ?? I have never seen anyone on here stating they are.Quoting links and advice from the internet does save time and can explain an issue much better than some people can. The internet over the past 10 years have opened people eye to what is achievable in all manner of issues,long gone are the days when you talk to the local old boy in the gun shop stating "you only need a 4 inch group at 100 yards and you dont need to shoot past a 100 yards" most of us thats been around shooting for a long time have been caught in that trap. the days have gone when the thing to use is a 6x42 scope. we used to all learn through reading books and magazines or how would one progress ?? All we need know is to search a subject and all the infomation is there on any subject. No disrespect but if your not prepared to move with the times thats not anyone elses fault but your own. As to "experienced sportsman" what does that mean.every time one goes out into the field you can a little more experience. most experience come from taking ideas from others you met and go out with,we can all learn something from someone. Just because you may have been shooting 50 years does not make you better than a guy who only ben at it a couple iof years,as that guy may have done more research into the subject than what you have done over the 50 years. Just because someone is stuck in there ways dosnet make tham right,infact it makes them worse because there not prepared to progress into modern times newbie shooters have it easy nowerdays as theres so much to learn from clicking a few buttons. so Harnster what "is an experienced sportsman" and who are they as if you dont persoanlly know them this thread of your is pointless and as its been said already just seeking attention. bt he way I have hunted all over the world but have no idea how to decoy pigeons,does this make me an experienced or un experienced hunter. There ws a guy on here who got ripped to bits over a 704 yards shot on a hare,he hadnt been shooting too long BUt took the time and effort to perfect his shooting and relaoding to be able to take such a shot,whay was he wrong when he had done more research into ballistics bullet and powder choice in that short time than you had done in your entire shooting life.in my opinion he had done everything right and i take my hat off to him as he didnt accept the rubbish that people post to what you should be doing. move with the times or stop in your own little world,but dont bring people down who want to progress.

ave you owned or reloaded one of them ??

"bending the rules" I dont believe you I dont either

may give one thoughts towrads bullet choice for there chosen quarry

the 223 AI is also a lovely caliber by the way I always "base" on what I know

well you will have to do your own homework and then decide.

you should be in the CID quite right Sherlock it was and still is,apart from when someone decided to change it slightly and needed to be given the correct information

obviously you cant answer the question,why would it be closed cant you answer in an adult manner ?? I dont know how some of you get on in life,do you do the same when having a conversation face to face "close it down" if you have never used fireformed and reloaded an AI you cant really say what is better now can you. I enjoy and respect your veiws but your so wrong on this one

as I said we ALL fireform with new brass,when you correctly full length size you are only knocking back the shoulders a couple of thou max so ALL the brass will be to a consistant size,but Iam sure you already know that. there are all manner of modern powders and primers which enables us all to tune a load to out equipment,so no your wrong it "isnt up to a point" you didnt amswer my question . ,have you owned and reloaded a 243 AI or a 243 come to that

you obviously know a lot more than the experst that actually use and test these calibers.have you ever owned a 243 AI everyone fireforms no matter if you neck size,full size or bump the shoulders,si as I said it makes no diference what caliber one uses the resulst are still the same "fireforming from new brass" as to barrel length and powder burning,surley you know one can use different speed powders to compensate for barrel length example I can pick up a brand new box of 243 brass load a std powder charge and go out and shoot 100 cases off at vermin,deer or paper,thge rifle will shoot shoot perfectly exactly the same as you would do with a std only diference is the AI chambering will be a lot more accurate due to the match tube fitted against a std factory rifle (unless you have had a std 243 built that is) anyway matters not the AI is better than the std version,theres enough evidence out there form people a lot more clued up than you or I. the std 243 is a great caliber by the way,

I "get out a lot" with many different calibers I reload for 3 std 243s so I would like to think I know a little about them anyway read this you may find it interesting The .243 Winchester parent case has always stretched brass, almost as bad as the Swift. Even though you get more velocity with the improved .243, I've also found that the improved version gives a bit more throat life than the parent case does. The .243 AI delivers more velocity by virtue of enhanced case capacity--roughly five grains more H20 capacity than a standard .243 Winchester. The .243 AI has a water capacity of approximately 57 to 58 grains, compared to 52-53 grains for the standard .243 Winchester. and as to "you have to fireform" dont we all fireform all calibers ?? its no different with an AI you just shoot it in std 243 form to start with

a lot of everything

no point driving a sports car like a 3 wheel van

again depends how you look at it,Im think this issue was debated somewhere and prooved to be wrong

Quite true BUT some people use what performs best in there rifle,a bit like using match bullets on deer if you have a 243 that wont shoot 100gr what is one going to do
