    Micky Duck liked post by ZQLewis On thread : .243 whats your pet load,
    would have thought anything over 95 gr is getting a bit heavy for 4350 powders. I used to use supreme 780 with 105 gr then when i could not get that i moved to Reloader 26 and now shoot 108 gr...

    I'll also go the 358 win, i recon they are good to 300 mtr with a 200 mtr zero. 13-15" drop at 300 mtrs, but now finally after many years some of the copper bullet makers are coming out with...

    I think you need a 358 Win or 35 Whelen, That will keep you busy for a while, then make up some pistol bullet loads (150-180 gr XTP's) for goats @ sub 2000 fps, Some accubonds, 225/250 gr for cattle...
