Thank you. I checked out that article. Just was curious what other members are running in their 243wins from GAP.
 
Re: GAP 243win Loads

The jump is roughly 0.020" in my DTAC rifles, with the COAL set up to fit an AICS magazine. I don't have my load data available right now, but I use H4350 (George started with it) and my MV is 2,960fps from a 26" barrel (If I had to guess, it's 43.0 grains with a moly-coated DTAC). I'm using the same load that Shannon Kay is/was using for 243Win from a GAP rifle. Frankly, I don't understand what 3,150 fps buys, except for a marginal increase in range and decrease in windage.
