FWIW, I have one rifle that I keep as a loaner, and have it sighted in with the 100gr Federal blue box that you have on the bottom. That load will shoot just a bit over 1" in my rifle, and has accounted for 4 deer by a young lady friend of mine. Also, my kids used the 100gr Remington CoreLokt...

I use the Hornady comparator.

Your 1:10 should stabilize anything up to about 100gr. My bolt gun (Marlin XS7) has the same twist, and I shoot the 95gr BT and 100gr Sierra GK quite well. As for deer, This one was with the 95gr BT: This one was with the 85gr Sierra GKHP: I've killed them with the 100gr Sierra GK, as...

4350 is considered to be the go-to powder for the 243, so you were right to start there. And, it may not be the powder that's the problem. Your rifle might not like the Accubonds, regardless of powder. Try some other bullets instead.

Try IMR 4064. I've gotten good groups with it and the 95gr Nosler BT in my bolt gun. Right up near max load.

Guy, can I ask a small favor? When you have a minute, can you measure that Hornady bullet? I'd like to know the length from the base of the bullet to the top of the cannelure. I want to compare that to the lead bullet I'm working with. Thanks in advance! Brian

Guy, can you quantify your results? Group size, velocity, etc.?

Thanks for the info about the FTX bullet. I had been wondering about it, and contacted Hornady to see if they had load data for it in 360 BH (they did not). I'll cross it off my list. And thanks for the bullet pics, that looks good. Just to update the thread, I've been working up a load with a...

I have a Frankford Arsenal Platinum hand primer, and it's great. Shell holders to fit pretty much every case, adjustable seating depth, very solid.

Is it just me, or is anyone else not seeing the pics in the original post?

Brad, there's a $600 fix: Garmin Xero. I love mine! 🙂

Sad but true. I recently picked up a Burris Droptine 3-9x40 for my 360BH. It was about $120, IIRC. Burris has become my bang -for-the-buck scope, now that Nikon is off the market.

I'll check it out, thanks.

OP, I can't help you with your questions, but something you Said caught my eye. Can you explain this: "Specifically, I reload so I really need to be able to get a stripped bolt." Maybe I'm the uninformed one, but I don't get the connection between reloading and stripping the bolt. I've been...

That's probably close enough. Thanks! Just for kicks, I'll try using the calculator listed above and see what it comes up with.

Since a couple of you have suggested using the Sierra BC, here's a question that I can't answer: The BC for the 200gr Sierra RN is listed as .148. But the BC of the 200gr Hornady RN Interlock is listed as .195. These bullets have the same sectional density and a very similar external profile...

I'm working on some loads for my Henry 360 Buckhammer. It looks like I found a node that's about 2250 fps, give or take a bit. You may recall that I reported some dissatisfaction with the Speer 180gr bullets I used for deer season last year, so I'm switching to these lead hollow points instead...

200-250 max.

Anyone know where I can find the BC for cast bullets? Specifically, I'm looking for a 200gr .358/.359, with hollow point. Like this: Not that I'll be shooting bench rest with it or anything, just want to calculate the bullet drop for my scope's holdover marks. Thanks in advance. Brian

Have fun! I'm only about 25 or 30 miles south of CD.
