Does anyone have a good load for .243, using a Hornady 100gr. RN. I'm shooting a Savage bolt action and using Remington factory core-lokt loads(100gr. psp)shes dead nuts on the bulls eye. I just want to load my own and I've had good success with the round nose in other calibers for deer.
Thanks

| My standard 243 100 gr load for the last 40 years has been 45.9 grains of H4831 and a standard primer. Shoots under 1 inch out of my model 70.

| http://www.handloads.com/calc/index.html with a 100 yd zero switching to a rn bullet will double the drift at 300 yds. with a 10 mph crosswind drop and drift will be over 13 inches.if not shooting long distances a rn will work.it does sound like the ammo you are shooting should just be duplicated.dead nutz sounds pretty darn good to me.

My shots are all under 100 yards. I have pretty much IMR 4350 on hand but can't find a load using it with that bullet.

a starting load for any other 100 gr bullet should be a safe starting load for a RN.somewhere around 34 gr IMR4350 will work.

| I get very good results from my savage with the following load..42.8 gr of imr 4350 and a sierra game king bthp 85 gr. i tend to seat my bullets close to the lands..i get basically one hole groups..however they only open up a miniscule amount by seating them so they fit in the magazine. Good luck and keep us posted on results..later Luke
