.243 loads

[Jokker78]

My load was with H414 , 41. Grains and 95 grain nosler partitions spire points (p/n 16315) 5 shot group was a little over 3/4 of an inch at 100 yards

With the addition of the NosPart,no lead bullets,and light weight (<61gr) bullets,the 243Win is an extremely versatile chambering. More so IMO,than the 260Rem and even the 7mm-08.
It also has the short powder column accuracy over the old 6mm.
About 40 years back I had a buddy with a Rem788 (the short bbl version) chambered in 243Win. We killed tons of woodchucks and coyotes with that gun. When he deployed he would leave the gun with me,when I deployed I would leave the gun with him. This chambering,and gun,was some of my first reloading expierances.
At one time or another,I have owned about 6 or 7 243's. My most accurate was a Ruger#1V. --- SAWMAN

I have a rem 788 in 22-250 and damn that thing stacks 55 gr nosler bt. One of those rifles they quit making because it hurt the sales of the 700. Very accurate rifles.

I've got a howa in a 22-250 that I prepped brass same time as my .243. About to load up some z max and or v max. It's a straight shooter.

They are fun to load for. Little rockets. I have an abundance of the 55 gr nosler BT factory seconds and they shoot very well out that old 788. H380 I's the powder I'm using for it.

I have had good luck with 87 grain Vmax and H4895 in my 243. I just shoot targets.

Back in the day,the 788's had the fasest lock time of any rifle made. That action was used as a build for quite a few benchrest guns. (SAKO action also).
Look up how many different chamberings were offered with the 788. Amazeing ! (Wish I had them all.) --- SAWMAN

I figured my load out for my Remy today. 75gn v- max over 37.2 Gn of imr 4064 in new hornady brass. With a crimp using a redding crimp die. First one I've used, normally use the lee factory crimp die. Way different and for the better. Range buddy was hard to use, still sub moa. With a mic it measured edge of each hole instead of center .648. This is why we reload right here. 25 rounds in and I was like hell yeah.

If it’s alright with the OP I’ll ask this question here to keep the data on one thread.

I’m loading for my 243 for the first time using 58gr Vmax and H4350. Would anyone like to share a starting point? It’ll be out of a savage axis II.
