243 win test loads

[LD375]

I worked up some loads with the 95gr Ballistic Tip and 90gr AccuBond using W760, Winchester brass and Federal 210M primers.
39.5,40,40.5, and 41grs COAL 2.680" and 2.695" for both bullets for my Tikka T3.

Here's what I got so far, I'm still going to tinker with both loads, I'm loading up some 100gr Partitions with RL22 at the moment as well.

Looking good Lou.
Another powder to try is IMR4350. Great speed and accuracy with the bullet weights you are loading.

Thanks Jim, I know buddy but I can't find any IMR4350, none in stock. It was my first choice though, I'm work'n on it though. I like this little .243, a lot of fun to shoot, gonna see if I can hammer a coyote with it this weekend, there's a lot of them not far from home :twisted:

Looking good! I had great luck with RL22 and the 95 gr. BT. Good looking rifle!

Seems like if you shorten up your COAL a little with the 90 AB you might drag the shots in a little.
