.243/87gn Hornady bthp load

[MJR]

I've tried these with Varget with mixed results in Sako brass and cci br2 primers. Can anyone recommend a differrent load? I have 4350,414 and 4831sc in stock.

I use 36 grns of Vit N140 for this bullet with great results.

Lapua case, fed gold primer, loaded to 15 thou off lands. It is a stiff load in my Sako with some primer flattening.

Sorry, i have no experience with the other powders you mention..

Vit 160: 44Gr CCI200. 3100FPS

H-414 is usually a safe bet with this weight bullet.

 

I currently use 43.5 grns of H414 / 87 Vmax / fed 210's and Sako brass... 3240 fps ( + or - 15fps)

 

Have been experimenting with IMR 4350 lately - ( as I use this powder in the 22.250 )

 

I have had some very promising results with it ... but only load developing at Mo

had very good results with H4350 45gr and 87gr v-max lapua brass fed 210m = 3300 fps Groups in to 3/8 @ 100 yards, and can then change to the 58gr v-max doing 3900 fps and it's the same P.O.I, strange but true.

Cheers guys. I've got the H4350 in so i'll try that first.
