I'm about to have my 243 rebarreled and considering going the Ackley route.
I've read a fair bit around this and I'm aware of all the pros and cons and I don't want to stir up another 243-vs-Ackley fight, the only thing I really want to ask about is mag feed problems.
Does anyone here have an AICS mag fed 243 AI that feeds 100% reliably, and if so was it a lot of hassle to get it that way?
Would be interested to hear also from people who had hassle with the feed and gave up on it as a result.
I'll be stalking with it (among other things) so if it can't be made to feed 100% reliably (in my rifle) I'll be sticking with standard 243.
Thanks
