.243 powder? What do you like?

[cdn1canhunt]

Time to replenish some powder inventory. What do you like ? Shoot .58gr v-max, .65gr v-max, .75gr honady hollow point. I've ran Varget, IMR 4320 and IMR .4350 in my savage 11 I think 1-9 twist.
Varget is meh!
I4320 shot .65gr V-max excellent
Mixed results with I4350 so far.

What other powders have guys had good results with? Pretty new to the reloading game but would like to try some various combos see what the rifle likes.

Opinions and experiences to share?

I have a Savage model 10 Predator. I shoot 95gr Nosler BT's with 44.5gr of IMR 7828 into 3/4" groups.
For a varmint bullet I run Hornady 58gr V-Max's with 44.5gr of Varget into sub 1/3" groups.
I just run cheap Hornady and Remington brass and Federal match LR primers

Varget is my go to for above 80gr and superperf for lighter bullets

I prefer to use h4895 for my 243. I get better accuracy with h4895 than I do varget. Every rifle is different.

40gr of 4895 under 60gr Sierra Varminter. Vaporizes gophers well past 200yrds.

imr 4895 on a 87 grain bullet

100gr or 95 gr pills and IMR 7828.....

Been using that combo since the mid 90s.....

 

[freezer filler]

hornady superformance

 

[DFarmer]

We have had good success with H 414 and 55gr or 58gr bullets.

 

[Shawn_338]

I use benchmark with 55gr blitz kings

 

[Hitzy]

Varget with light bullets, H4831 with 95-100gr.

 

[RL-300mag]

H-1000 for the 105gr's & 107's.

Started using Superformance with my 70 and 80 gr bullets and had great success. Ended up buying the powder because it was the only thing I could find at the time. H380 is also a decent powder for 55-70 gr bullets. Varget is my favourite for 55gr bullets, puts 5 rounds into one ragged hole.

Thanks guys sounds like I'll have to try Varget with some 58gr v-max. I have both just haven't run them together yet

I use Varget for 75gr Vmax's and H4350 for 100gr SP.

 

[mstewart]

I like imr4831 with Barnes 80gr ttsx. I've also used imr4350 with good results with 95gr Nosler BT.

 

[saskcop]

With 65 grain Vmax's I have used BLC-2. Fast enough velocities and deadly accurate. For the heavier pills, I like H414/W760, H4350, H4891 and H1000.

 

[furtaker]

Hybrid-100V on 105 hybrid bergers with a 7.5 twist puts 5 in the high .000's and is very good in the temperature swings
will sling the 75gr bergers the same

 

[hometownhero]

I use varget. 58gr vmax 5 into half inch and 80gr ttsx 3 into the. 3" area

 

[mad max78]

H4350 and XBR8208 worked well.
