I finally had a good trip to Utah Lake today with both these rifles. One is the .243 Ultra heavy barrel. After I got the scope sighted in, it shot like this:

That coin is a dime, and after a while I started blowing spent shot gun shells off the edge of my target holder at the same distance.

I am guessing Varget was the powder (your reply on my thread) but what was the head used for those great groups? I have a 243 ultra as well I would like to try that bullet out.

It was a Hornady 75 gr HP.

Sorry the link doesn't work like I thought it would. Just go to Bullets, rifle, then from the window with arrow choose 243/6MM.

Here is somthing funny I have tried those with IMR4350 and H414 and I have only have gotten so so results. But I will have to get some Varget and try them again.

Yep, that was the second type of load I've tried in this rifle. I could have tried many different loads, it's just lucky I guess.
