Thanks Andy

Have a look

 

 

H414 MAX Load 52.5 reduce by 10-12% and work up

 

H380 MAX Load 53.0 reduce by 10-12% and work up

 

RL15 MAX load 45.0 reduce bu 10-12% and work up

 

Varget MAX load 45.5 reduce by 10-12% and work up

 

N150 MAX load 45.0 reduce by 10-12% and work up

 

 

N140 i think would be a good powder but i dont have any data to hand for it.

Resurrecting this thread. Does anyone have load data (or comments) for 243 with n140 (well TR140 actually) with 62gr varmint grenades?

they don't like to go to fast, could not get a load in my 243ak they just blow up, it was a 1-8 and may have been to fast ?

Hmmmm they will eventually...Black Hills do a commercial loading for 22/250 thus:

 

36BVG BC .149 @ 4250 fps by 500y though it's only 1296 fps, 43/53 drop/drift in 10mph wind....400 is 1696 18/30 .

 

ie runs out of steam,inferior to 40 max BC.2 @ 4150 (400y 2148 fps 14/20 ).

 

BC of course is the issue,and it may be that it just cant be driven fast enough to compensate,anyhow.....

40g seem a better bet all round,beyond 300y;crow impact though is effective I would imagine up to that.

If not have a try of the Nosler Varmageddon, they have a deep cavity like Grenades but it's topped with a tip.

 

On fox it's truely devastating
