Thread: Best 243 load

My second 243 is a 700 clone with 24" trueflit #3 barrel, 1:8 twist.
in this I have loaded the following;
Berger 87gr VLD hunting, Lapua brass CCI 200 primer & 42 gr W760 (H414). Have tested it with up to 43 gr. No velocity numbers sorry. This round has taken Fallow out to 260 mtr and Tahr at 230 mtr but I would not recomend it for Tahr. Was forced to use it due to an accuracy issue.
Berger 105 gr LDV Hunting, Lapua brass CCI 200 Primer & 46 gr of Win 780 Supreme for a crono'ed 3020 fps. Did work up to 47 gr.

Please note this is a very strong custom action and I used an over length COA with the 105.
