Doctoring up some light weight rounds for a early season outing.
Dropped the scope two clicks, loaded 35 rounds of 65gr. Now just waiting on Mother nature.

Good shooting gun. 243 is my favorite round. I load the Speer 75 grain varmint hollow point. If you try it you will love it. Thanks for sharing your time and videos with us.

That 243 us an absolute shooter. I’d be happy to cash out with any of those loads. Cheers from Down Under.

Always loved speedy twist .243s Especially with the heavies and a rifle/mag box combo that allows you to stretch the COAL.

@donbenson5292 2 жыл бұрын

I always shot 70 gr Btips until I tried the 87 vmax's. I like the little longer range. I have some 75 's too. My most accurate is the 90 gr Bergers hpbt. Can't get them any more. The 88's are pretty good. I have 60 left of the 90's and only use them on 400 yd plus shots. They shot an inch at 400 yards on a calm evening. That is out of a custom stocked all factory Savage action, trigger and a hand lapped factory savage barrel. Thanks for the video. Getting me the fever waiting for the beans to come up next month.

I've loaded .243 for a dozen years and for me I prefer 70gr smks with 44.2 of 760. That gave 3475 avg 10 shots. Imr 4451at 41.1 for 3099. The 4451 I use for 600+. 22" bull 1/9 twist. Love the .243 and my 25-06.. Aim small, miss small.

Does those numbers sound right for that bullet? That's what im getting. Also what should i expect at 300 yards and 400 yards? Thats for all the info..
