    both .243 I have had, I struggled to get a varmint light load, and something for deer close to same point.

    But I hand load, and winters in Canada are long, also lived next to a 500m range, gave me sum thing to fiddle about with, on those cold days. finding compoents a lot more expensive in NZ, glad I have worked out loads on sum of my rifles,
