.243 win favorite loads

[goose25]

I just got off the phone and finished placing an order for a Rem 700 sps varmint chambered in .243, It has a 26" heavy barrel with a 1:9 1/8 twist.

any load recommendations would be highly appreciated.

cheers! 8)

What game will you be loading for? I have a 26" inch Rugerr M77VT and a 24" Howa 1500. Both shoot the 70 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip extremely well. I use them for coyotes. Both guns will shoot under 1/2" with 47.5 or 48 grains H414, or 41.5 grains Varget.

55g NBT, 53g H-380, RP case, Fed 210, 4100fps, .75" @100 yards...

70g NBT, 47g IMR-4350, RP case, Fed 210, 3600fps, .75" @100 yards...

100g SBT, 43.5g IMR-4831, RP case, CCI BR-2, 3000fps, .5 MOA to 525 yards.

The NBT's are coyote/varmint loads and make short work of them to 500 yards...The Sierra Gameking is a deer load if I was to ever take the .243 deer hunting...

You have to work up your own loads as each rifle is an individual.

If its for varmints you can start with 70 gr bullets and powders like IMR 4350, 4064 and others are good.
