You can use from medium to low burning powder on your 243. My favorite are these two, IMR 4350 and Reloader 19. My buddy swore by IMR 7828 on his 243.

Wow! congrats to Jim. I always enjoy reading Jim's article when he was a hunting and shooting editor at Outdoor Life Magazine.

Way back I did a box test with my IOR when I first got the scope. I posted it on another Forum. http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/ ... ule-24952/

As much as I like my 6.5-47 Lapua, the SSG built 338 Lapua Ackley got to be my all time favorite long range rig... for now. The availability of superb bullet for this caliber make it the most versatile cartridge for all around use.

9MM for me.

I'd say buy a scope that you can afford and hunt with it. I bought a Simmon Pro-50 (Made in Korea) for my first scope. I've hunted with that scope for a couple of years and had taken countless of animal from 100 yards on up to 600+ yards. I paid a princely sum of 150 dollars for it IIR, and I...

Why not get a Seb :twisted: I'm shooting both Hornady A-Max and Berger Match VLD 105. Both shoot equally well. I will settle on 29.8 grain Varget at 2890fps. I just received my Wilson dies. I already neck turned 50 brass and neck sized them using Wilson die and .266" bushing. This will give me...

Went to the range this morning and put a couple of rounds downrange.The rifle and the scope were performing well except me. I shoot crappy today. I really like the scope. This is the best I can do with 105 Berger VLD. 6 shot @100 meter. Average velocity is 2890 FPS.

I have the LRMOA with 1/4 MOA per click dial on both elevation and windage. It is similar to an MP-8 on my IOR. The click has a solid and positive feel to it and indexes precisely with the graduation on the dial. The scope has a maximum elevation travel of 100 MOA, which is pretty substantial...

I heard a lot of good things about this scope. I went ahead and bought one for my 6BR. Just got it today and spend a few hours fondling it. I did a side by side comparison with my other scopes (Nightforce NSX, Leupold MK-4, Nikon Tactical, and IOR Valdada) I'd say Sightron Glass is on par with...

Went to see my buddy today. He showed me a 7 shot group from his 6.5 BR rifle shooting the 140 grain Berger VLD at 100 yards. The bullet was hitting sideways. Can't imagine the terminal ballistic of this load. :?

Joel, Reloader 15 is kind of dirty. Not sure if I'm going to like this powder. I'll head out tomorrow also and try Varget. I have to borrow a pound from a friend. I'm still waiting for 2- 8 pounder that I ordered from a local group buy. Good Luck.

She just gave me a glimpse of things to come. This was just preliminary load development, fire forming and barrel break in. With a better scope and prepped fire formed brass, she will tighten things up. I found out that 29.8 to 30.1 grain of Reloader 15 is the sweet spot for this rifle. 30.2 is...

Norma is very uniform brass... better than Lapua. With that said however, Lapua will last longer

It's 1000 yards. This new lot of 8 lb H4350 I'm using seems a bit faster than the last batch I use. I dropped my load to 40.0 grains. Velocity is around 2815 fps which is still plenty at 1K. I'm really impressed with this little round. The result from Sunday shoot mirrors the result I had from...

Great choice of cartridge Jeff. It is going to be my cartridge of choice also when I decide to build my true F-Class rig. I have a 9 twist/5C Broughton on hand and a 40X Remmy as donor action. What powder you are going to use on that baby.

20-25MPH. That's Santa Ana type condition for us here in Southern Cal. :?

The wind was constantly shifting from a full value to a no value with speed up to 10 mph burst. I was shooting from the no. 1 firing position and I can see the flag from the corner of my scope so I don't have to lift my eye to see what it was doing. My ballistic programs call for a 3.5 MOA full...

It's VLD's. I will also load the 105 A-Max. I have about 4 lbs of Reloader 15 and only less than a pound of Varget so Reloader 15 get the nudge. As soon as the 8 lbs of Varget from a group buy shows up. I will develop load for it also.
