Anyone shooting a AR 15 Platform in 243WSSM?

[CAG55]

I am looking for those that shoot the 243WSSM and would like to know about how they like it and how it preforms at long range shooting. I got mine last week, havn't shot it much.
Here is a pic of mine.
Thanks

I had a stock Olympic Arms.Maybe I got a lemon? but It didn't feed or extract reliably.I fooled around with loads and eventually got it shooting decent and that helped with reliability.Varget and 87grain Vmax worked best in the 10 twist barrel.

The brass quality was horrible.I prepped it and that shrunk the groups up a bunch.Around 1MOA.

This target was shot in a match, 5 shots each @ 300-700 yards, prone with bipod. Averages under 3/4 MOA.

87 gr Hornady V-max @ 3050fps (very light load but shoots well)
