I understand about the avatar but what I don't understand is why someone wants to take a known, proven and reliable load built with a particular reamer in mind and mess with it.

Re: Gap .243 question ?
well dtacs are a sierra bullet so maybe if you find a closer alternative in the sierra lineup. I would say the 107 smk is the closest?

I dont know Mike. Some people just want to fix something that isn't broken. I went from 100gr Hornady match to the 115 DTAC and it was night and day difference.

Dustin,
This information in the first post would have prevented anything but a straight-forward answer. We can only give you information from the information given us.
I would load them to max length where they'll feed from your mag and let fly.

I use the 115 VLD in my GAP 243 to hunt whitetail. I load them to 2.925" oal and that is just off the lands. Accuracy is outstanding.

Re: Gap .243 question ?
I shoot a GAP 243 with the 243 win match chamber and I have had awesome results with the 105 VLD hunting bullets. Have shot out to 760 yards with CKA and took an antelope at 431 yards one shot and dropped like I hit it in the head with a sledgehammer. 46.9 gr of reloader 25 and an COAL of 2.764, lapua brass and FGMM primers. Getting right at 3050fps. You will love your gun and the Bergers have been a great hunting and target bullet for me.
