Reload Data for Remington Bullets
« on: September 03, 2008, 07:52:22 AM »
Hey guys does anyone know where to find reload data for remington rifle bullets for 243 win? I have looked at hodgdon, accurate, alliant, etc websites and they list loads only for speer, horndady, nosler, etc the higher end stuff. Its probably them showing loads for their own brands of bullets. Im trying to find loads for remington bullets becuz they're relatively cheaper for plinking and things like that. I also notice that alot of load data use winchester cases. Is it ok to use other brands such as federal cases as long as I use starting loads. I plan to keep loads on the light side. Thanks.

I know the books all tell ya not to use any other components than what are showed in the listings, but I've been loading the Rem 100gr 243 bullets like I load Hornady or Sierra 100grs. I use H4831 or H414 loads that are listed in all manuals.

One note of caution: Don't underload a 243! This caution is shown in all of the manuals also. You can get some interesting results!

Use the reloading data minimum starting load and work up slowly.

Never load under the starting load on any cartridges, unless otherwise noted from the powder manufacture.

You can look at Hodgdon youth load data for the 243 Winchester using H-4895 and 80 grain Hornady single shot pistol bullets.

I have tried Remington 80 grain soft pointed bullets with this load and the accuracy was great.
