very nice . nice looking rifle , and looks to be a great shooter too .

what bullet are you planning on using ? it's been many years since I loaded for the 243 . I used IMR7828 , before IMR7828sc was on the market . I found the 100 gr partition to be my bullet of choice , for whitetails .

that bullet looks to have held together well . about what velocity are you getting ? both of these rifles look great . congrats on a productive hunt .

bullet holes show up good on the white too .

one has a 3.5-10x40 Leupold , 6-18x40 Leupold , 3-9x40 Zeiss . I did have a 4.5-14 Burris

a muzzle brake from , muzzle brakes and more , will reduce the recoil

I didn't realize Bears do that . this is how cats save food for later . congrats on two nice bear

I have them on a couple rifles , with normal sized hunting scopes , never a problem .

If you have the bullets you want to use , and the powder you want to use , about all you can do for less recoil is go to the min starting loads of powder . the most common way to lower recoil is lighter bullets , and going to a reduced load of powder . faster powders will lower recoil too ...

use the Hodgdon H4895 reduced load formula . you can up the powder charge to where the recoil is acceptable . the 60% reduced minimum loads , are usually very very mild . https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/...

neat stuff Fellas , Thanks for sharing

save your breath Fellas . the OP made his post and went MIA .

Does Staball HD recommend a MAG primer ? maybe this is your problem ? I don't know , just a guess I have .

does anyone know if the new factory PRC's still have the resizing problem , caused by the tight chambers ?

a guy can do a lot of hunting with a rifle and load combo, that shoots at MOA .
