42 grn of 4350, 95 ballistic tip and 100 partitions. They shoot 1/4” groups out of my Winchester mod 70. Great Antelope medicine!

Thanks for the clarification.
I also had excellent results with IMR4350 in the 243 Win with 95-100 gr bullets.
That's a dandy speed goat, congratulations.

I also use H4350 at 42 grains. Works a treat and is a sub moa recipe in my wife’s ruger.

Have another question, the brass I sized today was factory ammo shot once or twice and all of the cases are shorter than 2.045" that is the listed trim length in the manuals I have.

Do I take the shortest one I have and trim the rest to the same length or just run with them as long as there at 2.045 or shorter? They are all pretty close.

I always trimmed 243 to 2.035, I thought 2.045 was SAAMI max. But generally, for the most consistency, you would trim them all to the length of your shortest one, provided that one was not below the min

Just a fun coincidence, we use exactly the same load in my wife's tang safety Ruger also. We are in Wyoming too, only used for about 45 years on antelope and deer. She can shoot.

Good advice. That's the simplest method to even up cases, and yes 2.045 is max Saami length. Saami min would be 2.025.
