Wow, that is one cool looking round. A coyote killing load to way out there.

Those rounds look just deadly (for coyotes).
Those look pretty good Brian. Seems like you have another good use for Retumbo! That 45-70 is coming along pretty nicely. Seems like it is really shooting well. I am at 59gr's with the 300gr PT and 2325 I think and it is a handful at the bench. If I stand up and shoot it like a man, it is a baby. Something about it at the bench though. Maybe I need to have a can of M-A-N before I shoot it though. Scotty

BK,
A Rattle Can would work just fine also. I'm just lucky enough too have a friend that does a great job with Duracoat. Now if Remington would spend a few extra dollars on the finish of the rifles they make :x

Scotty,
I think using Retumbo with the 243AI was a great find. You should be ok as long as you don't shoot your 45-70 out of your favorite stand :lol:

Took the 243AI back to the range to confirm my new load. First two started out great but the "Dope behind the Scope" pulled the third shot again :evil: Five shot group went .503" and the four shot went .279".

Brian,
Excellent shooting there buddy!
Just remember 3 shots test the load, 5 shots test the shooter. :mrgreen:
Man, I am really liking that 243 AI.
BTW, I will be back in the 243 Win game next month. :wink:

Jim,
I would stick with 3 shot groups but i keep pulling the third shot too soon :grin: Guess i need to get some stuff in the mail if you will be ready by next month!
Thanks Guys! We ran out of time and light to shoot at 300 yards. I rushed shooting a group but nothing great.

Brian,
I know about those 3 shot groups. Some days I think I should stick with 1 shot groups. :mrgreen:
