I've done the search thing and didn't find what I really wanted to know so I figured I'd just ask.

With Lapua hulls, which bushing will I need to run? Yes, moly.

FF with 75-Vmax. Standard 243 loads will do or will they need to be bumped up a bit? '15 with the 75's?

With formed cases and 105's, which powder, '17...'22?

Many thanks.

RL22 for the 105's in the AI for me. I found I needed to run my FF loads at max to get a good form.

A .270" bushing will put you at .003",as per the lots I've seen.

F/F'ing 75's with '15 is a good way to fly and kiss,find pressure and rocking on will never allow a suplize. Never have seen a 243AI that wouldn't happily digest top end SAAMI loads,regardless of throat,chamber or bore specs. Max and then some,is gonna be standard fare,to get to the Finish Line.

'22 for me,with formed cases and the 105's...................

Something that I may have overlooked...

Is it worth it to go the Wyatt's route or should I just keep it simple and roll the factory box? DBM?

Very easy to arrange a flexible throat,that'll do it all within OEM mag confines.

I'd go ADL...............

Any flies on Norma brass? MidSouth has the 80 grain FMJ ammo on sale for $20/box. If the brass is good, that's a pretty easy way to get my fire formed brass...

I'd pass.

The little Norma I have used was soft and didn't last for shit when pushed on hard.
