LOAD DATA FOR 243 WIN

[rvjd4]

I have a .243 Handi that my son will be using to hunt deer this fall. I'm looking for reloading data or recommendations for what works well in a handi.

I have some 95gr Nosler BT's that I wanted to try. Anyone like or dislike these for deer?

Thanks!

Hi rvjd4,

 I see you are looking for a load for a .243. Assuming you have a Handi Rifle, here is a load I really like in mine. Try this:

 WW cases
 Hornday 100 grain spitser
 Part Number 2453
 35 grains of IMR 4064
 CCI 200 Primers
 Seat bullets .010 off rifling

 This load will shoot 1 ragged hole at 100 yards in my rifle. (3 shot group)

 Tony

 Let me know how it works out if you use this load

My deer load for this caliber is at least a 95gr bullet and IMR 4350 powder.

 Hornady 100gr RN is a favorite if the yardages stay inside 200. Also the 95GR Partition, nice balance of weight and performance.

If you have to go lighter, stay with the HI-performance bullets.

If I seat mine .010 off the lands the bullet would Barely be in the case... Deep Throat
