What did you do today in the reloading room?

[Remi]

I did some load development today with H4350, 90 gr Sierra Tipped GameKings, and 95 gr SST's for my 243 Winchester. Basically I would load 3, shoot them on my back porch range, and come back inside because it's cold . This rifle just isn't stabilizing the long sleek Sierra Tipped GameKings I don't believe, best I could get with several different recipes was 1.7" at 100 yards. The 95 SST was a different story, 0.46" at 100 I don't think I want to actually hunt that bullet though so I may keep testing. I'm guessing it will not have very good weight retention with a max load and a bullet designed for shock anyway. That's just the two 6mm bullets I had on hand. View attachment 262624

I use the 80 ttsx, 80 gmx, and 95 NBT in my slower twist 243 win. My model 7 won't really stabilize the 105's. They don't key hole but 1.5-2" is all it will do.

I do like the grand slam bullets. I'm typically a shoulder shooter for deer. That's just programmed in me, I don't like them running off over the mountain or whatever it may be. I was considering going light and fast like the 80 ttsx or Hornady cx. Just need to get something ordered. I would love to get the 85 makers but they have been out of stock all the time it seems like.

I'm a shoulder breaker as well. I feel that tracking is greatly overrated.

45grs h4350 and the 80ttsx - 3186fps

45grs h4831 and the 80gmx - 3030fps

41.5grs H4350 and the 95 NBT


Those are the loads I use.
