Looking for some one with Hornady Manual for info 243 Win
« on: July 25, 2009, 08:30:56 AM »
Looking for loads using Hornady 87 grain HPBT and  either IMR3031 or IMR 4895.  I have Lyman 46 and Sierra 2nd but not there. The rifle has 23.5" barrell and a 91/8 twist. I rmember someone with an older Hornady book but cannot remember where, any help would be much appreciated

I've found IMR3031 to be the very best performer in the 65-87 grain bullet weight range in my .243s and highly recommend it. I use the Hornady V-Max bullets mostly tho in that weight range with the 65 V-Max being my all time favorite for the .243 Winchester.
