.243 on its way home and need help with one more load!

[Deerhunter#1]

well this is what i have loaded up for it when I get it back 100 horsp, 95 nos bt, 87 hor sp all with start to max of h4895,h4350, imr4831.
Now i picked up some 85 grain sierra btsp but i called them as they have data for 4895 but not the others. I looked at different manufactures 80 to 90 grain offereings and those powder loads are all over the board and on some up to 4 grains different in max loads. Now if length has anything to do with it the 87 hor sp is about identical in length and those powders are listed. would i be safe with those or if anyone has developed a load with these powders and bullet combo for the handi any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Take a look at the Hodgdon web site and they have a very good place to start.  http://hodgdon.com/  That's one of my most used reverences.  You can also try the Nosler reloading page.  http://www.nosler.com/Reloading-Data.aspx   Those two have been invaluable to me!  44 Man

i have been using 87 grn boat tails in my winchester shot a lot of deer and varmints very accurate would like to try a handy but not till remmy gets the problem solved with accuracy i have eight or nine handy's in other calibers that shoot great. i hope you got a good one great caliber.

44man that is the problem. Lots of info and different information but none specifically for this bullet. The nosler doesnt show any of those powders for even the 85 grain partition or 90 grain bt. I am going to go with the hornady 87 grain data shown for all of these powders and start low and work up. ratdog i have had two handi 243 barrels and really only tried 95 and 100 grain bullets and with only one powder. Going to try the bullets in the 80-90 grain weight with 3 different powders with this one and see what happens.
