Thread: BRNO .243 preferred ammo

Hi all,
Recently purchased myself a prime condition BRNO ZKK601 in .243. I'm looking at getting into reloading in the future but for now can anyone recommend some factory ammo that their BRNO likes? Or should I just trial & error till I find something that works? I've heard good things about the new Sako ammo?
Cheers

For a BRNO with a 1-10 twist i would try what you like up to 100gr flat base , as the twist rate does not like the Boat tail 100gr+ as a general rule.

Yep what he ^^^ said.
The Federal blue box 85 and 100gr was recommended to me. I only used a box of 85gr at the range before my reloading components showed up.
For handloads the Hornady 90gr eld-x and Sierra 85gr Gameking and 100gr Prohunter all shoot very well and drop deer well. The 103gr eld-x was horrible, many shots not even on A4 paper at 100m!

You'll have try try them all, every rifle is different and trial and error is the way to go. Sounds like fun experimenting at the range.

nah its a 243, anything that goes bang will do.
