devilishdave Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Has any one got a good load for .243 90 grain Nosler Balistic Tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 95 gr I think you mean, I use 42.5 grs H4350 with CCI benchrest primer and SAAMI length, later modded to .040" off the rifling as it suited my Sako more. Excellent accuracy and many dead deer with it, grps into around .6-.7" about 2970fps in my barrel. Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stag1933 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi guys. When the mastershot Jacko emigrated I bought his Sako Varminter .243 and inherited some of his test info and some of his loaded ammo. I have broken down one of his cartridges and weighed the bullet, it was 90gr, purple ended and marked 90gr NBT on the holder.[this did contain 46gr of powder] His info states 46gr Vit. N160, BR2 primer, Nos. 90gr in Lapua brass. His notes also refer to 95gr NBT with 45gr of Vit. N160. Have Noslers been made in both weights ? HWH.

devilishdave Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes Nosler make both 90 and 95 grain Balistic tips, I have both at the moment. I normaly load 42 grains of Vit 160 with the 95 grain, they perform well and only drop 2 inches from 100m - 200m so 46 grain with the 90 grain head must be a fairly hot load. I will buy some more vit 160 and work up a load. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Noslers loads for the 90gr Hunting B/tip 243 Win 90 Gr. Ballistic Tip® *MOST ACCURATE TESTED Ballistic Coefficient: BT(.365) Sectional Density: .218 * Most Accurate Load Tested Powder: IMR 3031 Charge Weight (in grains) Muzzle Velocity (fps) Load Density 36.0 3102 fps 68% 34.0 2960 fps 64% 32.0* 2810 fps 61% Powder: H380 Charge Weight (in grains) Muzzle Velocity (fps) Load Density 42.0* 3232 fps 80% 40.0 3077 fps 76% 38.0 2922 fps 72% With the H4350 max load is 44.5 grs but work up to that, the 42grs will still give a flat accurate load as a starting point.

gareth Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 My Tikka T3 loves the following load: 90gn Nosler BT 42.5gn IMR 4831 (midrange Nosler recommended load) Fed 210 match primer Bullet seated 30 thou off the lands This will put 3 shots into 0.6" at 100 yards day in day out in my rifle. Tried the 95gn Combined Technologies bullet but stuck with the 90 as they shot far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
