Windknot Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Can't comment on powders unless you want load data for Somchem S-365, but I've had great results with the Speer 105 gn spitzer on African game. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 The only load i can find for you is for Varget.Starting is 31grain with a max of 33grain.Only 130fps difference so it just depends what your rifle prefers to spit out.If you are ever thinking of a lighter bullet,i can recommend 75grain hornady v-max with 36.5 grains of varget,but again it might vary with your gat.

TheHunter Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I don't know if you have picked the 105gn head for a reason but there are many more recipes for the 100gn head it is a lot more common. TH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH there isnt much info because most .243 dont shoot 105 very well due to rifles commonly coming with 1/10 twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windknot Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 The 105 stabilises well in 1:10 twist- it's a flatbase spitzer, and is actually shorter than some 100 boattail bullets out there. My wife's Musgrave .243 used to group these into 1 1/4" groups all day long. At 200 yards. Stable enough for ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellow11 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 10 Twist barrel is spot on for the Hot-Cor 105's. With a measured length of 1.084" it will give you gyroscopic stablitiy factor of 1.4 - perfect. Currently, I am having difficulty in obtaining them - anyone know a stockist?
