Thread: 95 gr Noslar BT in the 243 Win

Picked up a box of the above projectiles to try out. The 90 gr version showed promise in my rifle and the 95 gr SST shoots well so I thought I would try these out.
Who has tried them out, and has anyone got a pet load that has shot well for them. I use 2209, 2213sc, and Superformance in the 243 mostly so anything using those powders would be a great start.

My son used to use them for long range sniping on sika stags. They are brutal.Used 2209; 43gr's.They are very accurate..

Hey mooseman, I recently got a 243 and have been doing load dev using 95SST. Tried some H414 I have, didn't really work that well. Have a batch of 2209 reloads to try this weekend. Whats your Superformance load like in 243? I ve only used it in my 3006 pushing 200grs.

They are all I run in my 6mm Dasher, crazy accurate and IMO the best hunting bullet for the 6mm out there. I just wish they made a 105-110gr version of that bullet.

I have tried some 80 gr TTSX with 44grs Superformance for 3010 fps average. The 90 gr Sierra GC with 43 grs S F for 2868 fps average but neither were accurate. 2209 at 40 grs with the 95 gr SST gives 2942 fps average and 13 to 17 mm groups at 100 yds, I am hoping the BT will be as good.
