Rossi 243
« on: July 28, 2008, 05:31:13 AM »
Does anyone make a aftermarket barrel for the rossi? I have a new 3 barrel set, and cannot get the 243 to shoot. OH it goes bang ok, but the target is safe at any distance!!  Thanks Rich.

Mine would shoot great with 100gr Rem Core Lokt.  That was the only round it would shoot well.

Got mine to shoot less that 1" @ 100 w/ winchester ballistic tips.  I can't remember what the "name" on the box was but they come in a black box.  The cartridges are nickel instead of brass and the bullets are 85 gr that are black w/ a grey ballistic tip.  About 26.00 a box at wal-mart. 

Also, Mine had the same problem until I realized that the holes for my scope base were drilled crooked.  Bought a $40.00 laser boresighter.  Was way off.  Had to buy some Millett windage adjustable rings and mounted a Bushnell 6-18x50 Banner scope on it.  W/ the winchester 85gr. It started shooting less that 1"

Also, when you go to sight it in.  Get a large piece of cardboard and set it out @ 100 yards.  I alway use pallet liners I get from work. They are 4' x 4' and work fantastic.

Good Luck
