[hardpan]

Hi there, I am reloading for a 243 win, the shooter, my brother, wants to use the 100gr Partition. So, any pet loads out there??

Thanks, Hardpan

BTW, been a long time since i was on the forum. I hope that you are all doing well.

36.5 gr IMR 4064, WLR primers worked very well with the 95 gr Nosler BT's for me.

I'm at 46.5gr of 7828 and I use the short cut version. Also have 43gr H4350 with a 95gr Ballistic tip. 43gr IMR 3031 with a 55gr Ballistic Tip is a smoking varmint load for me as well.

Finally got to the range. The big gain was getting to a decent COAL, using 2.650. Shot 2 groups of 3 shots at 100 in 15 MPH wind. Both were cover-able with a quarter, measured 3/4 inch. Ended up with 45.5 7828. The owner, my brother, was really happy with that, so I am going to stop tinkering. Thanks again for the help and advice!

That’s a favorite of mine as well. Same goes for RL22. Lately I’ve been using a lot of RL26 and like it a lot in the 243.

I used IMR4350 as my go to powder in the 243 Win with 90-100 gr bullets. Always had excellent accuracy.

I have had excellent luck and accuracy with 42.0GR IMR4831 with my 100gr bullet loads in my 243's.

My new one is 50gr of H1000. Still dialing it in, may end up at 50.5gr. It's well under 1/2" for me already though with a 105gr bullet.

I should add that you won't find a charge that high in any book. Start at 45gr and work up in .5gr steps.
