BIG kudo's to worker....... this is always a hard pill to swallow 
I went through it with the .243AI, 7 barrels, 5 reamers and three different actions before I began to believe that 3400FPS AIN'T HAPPENIN'!!!
Nor 3300.....nor even 3200 really......
So I switched ever'thang over to 6BR, then to 6X47L. Now I can easily get 50-100 reloads from a case. At 3250 or even 3300 if I'm careful.... but that's getting RAGGEDY close for competitive shooting. I did pop some primers in the middle of a match, ran 'er up to almost 3400 thru a 28" bbl.
Still got me some fake wood though
LOL
