    Factory ammo seems fairly inconsistent, Mine is a 22", havent tried hornady match but have shot precision hunter (175 eldx) through it, speed all over the show, anywhere from low 2800s to almost 3k,...

    Butch73 liked post by Cigar On thread : .243 loads
    I use 2209 with the 90gr eld-x. Lots of people rate the Sierra 85gr Gameking BTHP, it shoots well in my rifle but haven't used it on an animal. The Prohunter 100gr flatbase shot well too, and would...

    holdover. Not a good idea. Go 2208 or even better 2206H. If you want some 2208 I'll swap 500 gram for same quantity of 2209. My young fellah lives in AK so no drama. Your call.

    I have a 1905 Winchester single shot .22 "Boy's Rifle". At least that's how I think of it. A lovely proportionate small 22. Bought it in Dunedin in 1980 for $25. It was well worn when I got it with a...

    Talking of accuracy and the quest for an accurate calibre/rifle, most modern firearms can shoot better than the person holding them.

    I thought the 7x57 did - when me and my mates upgraded from the .303 we all got 7x57's. At that time I thought they were two only two calibres (apart from .22). Then one day my BSA couldn't hit a...

    As a fellow owner of both, I can testify that these are both utterly useless chamberings, have seen 7mm bullets bounce off deer whilst all 6.5mm ones will go through 8 inches of steel and be good fo...

    Ryan, I used the 80gr TTSX in my .243 Win a good while back now. Very effective at closer ranges - drops good sized deer no problem - but it sheds velocity quite quickly and once past about 250m its...
