.243 loads
« on: February 28, 2009, 04:30:44 PM »
i have searched the web, read my books, and asked around.

for some reason i can't find much on the 85 grain sierra gameking with H4350.

can someone recommend a load or range of loads?

i am also going to use Varget and IMR 4064...

yeah that helps.

i visited steve's pages and found a load with h4350 and i know he has forgotten more about loading than i know, but it always makes me feel better to confirm.

Nosler 70 or 80 grain BT's over H-414. Set the bullet no farther than 50 thousands from the lands. I get cloverleafs at 100 yards from my TC ProHunter.

IMR4831 is what I've found to be very accurate in a .243 when shooting the 85 grain sierra.
