Armalite AR-10 in 243 Winchester, who has one? was created by johnmcgowan
Hi Folks, Im new to the forum and have a Armalite AR10 in 243 Winchester on the way... 
. This will be my first ar of any type. I plan to use it as a coyote rig and if I can get it dialed in, I would maybe like to try out some mid and long range paper punching too.
Just checking to see who out there has a rig like this in this caliber and what are your thoughts about your rifle, both good and bad. The plan as of now is to use 95 to 100 grain boolits/reloads to see how she shoots. Does anyone have a good recipe or a starting point for reloads that you would care to share? I would like to try to use the same powder as Im currently using for my Win 270 and that is Hodgden H4350 as well as H4831sc. Would really like to hear from you as far as how good yours shoots,etc... Any mods that you have done to make yours a better shooter, etc..?
Thanks in advanced for your reply!!

Aboard John!There is a lot of reloading information available for the 243 Winchester and between me and you I think it's a damn fine cartridge for the AR10 platform. In addition to the links below also see the attached PDF file from Sierra.
Handloads
Snipers Hide
Nosler
Personally, I feel the 7mm08 is another ideal cartridge that's well suited for the AR10 Platform...

Guys, thank you for all the info!! Night force, thanks for the links, there is lots of good info the read up on.
I have bought some hornady sst 95 gr boolits that a guy was selling a month or so ago and I bought about 300 rounds of these and I think thats what I'll use to work up some load date with after I shoot it a bit with some factory 100 gr coreloks ..... it'll be about 3 to 4 weeks before I receive my rifle and Im getting excited about it already
Does anyone know what the barrel twist is as it comes from Armalite? Im thinking it will have the 20 inch barrel on it ?
Thanks yet again!!!!!!!! I'll let you know when I go and pick it up.

Thanks cowboy and sisco !!
I simply cannot wait until I run some rounds thru this thing to see how she does but will have to get me a scope in order to do that.
About the pics.... I will try my best to get you some up this weekend. You see, at my house, there is a certain thing I have to do with certain toys and thats put the new things in stealth mode and sort of keep them down in the basement out of sight for a bit,...not that anyone on here would know anything about this.
In the meantime for your viewing please and I know its off topic for this forum( moderator forgive me please) , but I have another hobby and that is RC airplanes. Here is me and my big head at an rc airplane event that was this past weekend down in Tuscaloosa, Al and we were to do the maiden first flight on my Grumman F6F Hellcat. A faulty elevator twitch showed up and we decided not to take the risk of trying to fly her for the first time until everything is 110%. It is in the primered state as of now and once she hopefully is flown and has all the bugs worked out, I will then do all the details and paint her up right. It weighs 23 lbs, has a 55cc gas engine, has rotating retracts just like the real plane, landing lights and navigation lights out on the wingtips. See what yall think?
