Encore 243 Barrel and light bullets
« on: January 14, 2005, 06:49:34 AM »
How good does the 243 barrel shoot the really light bullets. 55gr and 58gr bullets. I have a 243 now that is having some problems with these and was wondering how well the encore will shoot them.

I'm hoping to get an encore by the end of the year.

what powder ya using to push that 58gr v-max? i also have a 15" .243 and need to work up a light bullet load. AA2015 does pretty good with an 87gr v-max.
