Thread: Barnes in 243

Hi Guys

So looking to expand the relaoding to the 243, figure the more practise I get the better.

Also planning on doing my range officers course in a couple of weeks so will probably do some more time up there so figured would be good to get to work on this.

Have had a look and seem to be 2 barnes projectiles available

80gr TTSX and 85 gr Barnes TSX

Was thinking TTSX for this one(if they fit in Magazine), can any one give me an idea of effective range on these, was planning on doing a couple of Chamois hunts so definitely to 300 but if effective range could be longer then I will put in some hard yards at the range to get me comfortable.

May look at SST's for the longer range if required.

I have checked loading data and they list loads for Varget which I have, is there a better powder for this application, 2206 or maybe superformance?

Cheers guys
