.243 Ammunition


Recommended Posts

The varmint v hunting round thing has been done to death but what are people out there loading and what results are they getting?

 

I load 95grain Nosler Ballistic Silver tip with 42grains of Vit 160 and federal gold primers.

 

Accuracy has the potential to be outstanding. I have acheived 1/4 MOA but average 1 MOA with them with a 3 round group

 

It is roe and Muntjack that I have shot with this set up and I always go for the boiler room.

 

I have never had a round fail to exit and my longest shot was 200m.

 

Most deer I have shot with this set up have ran on slightly even although they have been hit with a perfect heart shot. All deer have been stone dead when I have got to them.

 

I would be interested to hear how others have got on with their load combos.

 

Remember if you are reloading consult the charts not the internet then always start 10% below max loads and work up in small incraments.

Hi Dave,

 

I have been using 95g Nosler BT's over 42g of Reloader 22 (I still have a tub and a half so ok for a while) but may have to change powder in the future.

 

Foxes drop

 

The few deer I shoot (at modest ranges) respond well too !

 

Cheers
