Reload Recommendations for a .243
« on: December 22, 2007, 07:07:00 AM »
First of all, I just joined this forum and I'm really impressed with it.  I just got my first Tikka T3, Stainless, Laminated Stock in .243  My new scope, along with the base and rings, is in the mail.  I haven't, obviously, shot it yet, but from everything I've read, and heard about Tikka I'm sure I'll be very happy.  I was glad to read all the good comments about the Talley base and rings (which is what I ordered).

     I was wondering if anyone has been reloading for the above gun, and what has been your best results.  Again, thanks for the great forum.

Texas,

Varget, H & IMR 4350, H & IMR 4831 and H414 are my go to powders for mine, with H4831 being my leading powder. I don't load too many light weight bullets, though. I load mostly 87gr and up.
