Not in the AI but I used it in the standard 243 for years taking a number of Georgia deer with neck shots between 30 and 60 yards. Never had one run off, just bang flop like they were hit with Thor's hammer.
anyone shooting this combo?

i wouldnt mind shooting these and see how they compare to my 95 grain bergers at 3100-3150 fps
I have a partial box that I used in my regular 243. Kills deer dead. Shot very well in a sporter barrel.
May try them in the new 243AI but I was planning to shoot the 100-107gr range bullets first to see how they hold up out to 600 or more.
i would enagine that they shoot real well out of these barrels. i just bought a box the other day, so one of these days i may build some up

I have a 10 twist 26 inch that I use for my 87gr V-max. They come out at ~3400 using 44+ grains of IMR4350. I have shot 3 P-dogs two years ago in N.D. with Northlander at between 850 to over 930 yards and it was not fun for the dogs.

nice shooting!
how were they to load, i meen were they tempermental or fairly easy to figure out?

It was not hard to work a load up the Rem with a Pac-Nor barrel. It will shoot 65gr to 90gr into little groups, but it does like IMR 4350 or H4831-sc.

I tried Hor 87gr Sp in my 6TCU to see how the bullet would work at 1850fps at 10' to see how it would do at 200yrds with the load that I worked as a hunting load. I down loaded H4895 to get the 10' velosity. I used a stack of water soaked phonebooks that I taped together that was 14" thick. I shot it 2 times and both bullet went through. Hole going in .243" and hole going out .75".
I use them in a reg 243. With imr 3031 and a dose of 37.1 gr i believe......i was getting 3200 fps and keeping it under 1 moa groups at 400 w the best group being under an inch. I still havent messed with seating depths yet. I imagine with the AI version you could prob easily push them to 3400 fps. Mine tube is a criterion 9twist in 26". I like them a lot.
