I run the Sierra Gameking 85gr BTHP over 42gr H4831SC. 2.035CL (.010 short 2.045) with OAL at 2.64

I’ve never had a deer or hog step out of a parking lot spot size space with these.

As always this is my load, verify your own load data and I am not advocating or endorsing anything. Load at your own risk.

For many years .243 was a low cost blaster for practice. Current circumstances and the proliferation of 6.5 panty waist has basically wiped out production capacity for .243 - So I had to start reloading for all 3 of my .243 rifles.

Hit pay dirt yesterday with my Model 7
100gr Interlock
39.5 grains IMR-4350(max load)
Once fired Doo Doo Federal Brass (don’t laugh - accumulated over years of range time with several rifles)
CCI #34 primer(all I have)

BUG HOLES at 100yds - going to load out 40 rounds of this load for the 7

I have a CVA Apex with a 25in barrel -

****suggestions for screamer load? Long range?

Any luck with TTSX in .243?

Thanks!

Winchester 85 gr silver-tip Loaded ammo) shoots holes touching at 100 yds in Remington 700.

Why bother reloading?

Well, it was $18/box in 1990, $70 to $80 today might make the case.
