Thread: .243 subsonic loads Tikka M55

Hey all I gave my brother my .243 and then realised there was a .243 sized hole in my gun safe so got myself another rifle and am after some load development help.

Im after some info/starting point on a subsonic load for a Tikka M55 .243
Also after suggestions on a hunting load out to 200m. I was using 2209 to good effect on my other .243 but when it ran dry I got a bottle of H414 and set about developing a new load for my Tikka .243. I have tried a heap of different projectiles and powder weights but have not found anything that looked particularly promising. Im loading to 15 thousanths of an inch off the lands.

I have spent quite a lot of time and money on the development already and I am almost at the point of giving the rifle to someone and paying for the load development and load blueprint. If there is anyone in Canterbury that can provide the service id be keen to hear from you.

Cheers
Strider
