    loading 243 soon

    About to start loading 95 Targex and maybe 95 Bal tips in 243 Tikka Strata- going to be cut to 18 with a DPT muzzle can- for sika and reds inside 300/ bayonet distance.
    I have lots of 2206h and a tub 2209.
    I know short barrels will do better with 06h
    Question is , 18 inch still counts as 2206h-able? I would have thought so- but asking if anyone's had same combo- 18 inch 243 and 2206h.
    I'm looking for actual real world experience/info rather than hypotheticals please kind sirs.

    cheers all

    I tried both with 95 sst I found 2209 better but didn’t go with either in the end it was a sako 75 and for what it’s worth it when I chased the lands I thought the barrel was poked I knocked it back to saami and it shoots lights out just in case

    The fastest powder in a long barrel is the fastest powder in a short barrel as well. Just use 2209 for the .243.
