tonyshooter Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hornady are advertising .243 58g V-Max cartridges that have a muzzle velocity of 3925 fps. Can anyone suggest a load that will get me up to this muzzle velocity. All help appreciated. Cheers. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Sounds...hopeful? Quickload suggests 50-odd grains of RS60/RL17 will do 3926, 50gr sounds like a lot to stick in a .243 case, RS60 does fill well though. Viht shows a max load 44.4gr of N550 to give 3822 from a 23" barrel, so a 26" might approach 3900-odd. Certainly, whatever you try and load to get those numbers is going to cane a barrel...

phoenix Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Enough RS60 will get you those speeds (if your barrel is long enough) but don't expect the barrel to last for very long. Also, check with a ballistic program the difference in drop at a given range for a drop in MV of 100fps - it's not very much. Accuracy beats speed every time Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
