Unless you really tight for $$$ or only shoot deer...use them as they are.buy box of factory soft points for deer but the fmj rounds are fine for most uses...a tight twist is definitely a...

I use wire crimpers in press with shell holder and no die. Done heaps of fmj 223 that way

Try and get a pill of similar profile to the FMJ as well as the same weight. Then you can just load to the same length and all should be good. You may find a slightly bigger group after changing...

I use a Hornady collet puller and I do not resize the neck. You will not lose any powder unless you tip a case over. Remade OAL is 10 thou off the lands.

Yes a collet, don't be tempted to change bullet weight though, and no you won't need to resize

Never used Remingtons but have gone hundreds of Fiocchi without any issues

That's over 200 fps faster that it should be with 2208! I wouldnt use 2208 in a .243, too slow velocities for me for general purpose deer weight bullets and I dont shoot really light bullets. A...

2208 is the business in 243. I used it with 105 grain Targex pills to get 2950fps out of a 20 inch barrel. This was a Truflite barrel that was pretty fast. Nice and accurate too, had it clover...

Counterpoint to "slow powder is best". Light pills in the 90gn and under range get by quite happily with faster powders, running 40gn of IMR4320 topped off with an 87 Hornady hpbt, and getting 3150...

People dont understand how effective and clean a powder 2213sc is in the 243. Stunning in a Sako heavy barrel 75 using 75gr.

Have found 2213sc excellent for 87 gn V-Max and 90 gn ELD-X, for both velocity and accuracy through 22 and 23 inch barrels.
