.243 ai load data

[1967spud]

i have just pulled some old .243 bullets so ican reuse them

 

they were moly coated at one time but i am going to tumble them.

 

i have some h414 powder from previous loading as well

 

could any body please give me a safe starting point using that powder along with 87g v- max

 

thanks a lot mark

Starting loads for the standard .243 are the place to start. Remember that not all powders will give increased performance in an Ackley chamber. With many, you simply add powder to the now larger capacity case to get back to the standard un-improved levels and then go from there. If you have access to a chronograph you should use it. You might look here for 243 data. ~Andrew

Try the attached link for one of the most comprehensive 243ai olading manuals you'll find. It worked for me 4000+fps with a 68gr
