95gr vld in a .243

[Farlsincharge]

I cannot find any load data for this bullet or any other 95 gr bthp in any of my manuals. Does Berger have some data available now? I am looking to use h4350 and would like to find data on a comparable bullet at the very least. ANy tips on where to look would be appreciated.

email Walt at Berger. he or one of his staff will email you back with load data they have personally tested. data seems to generally be mild but as always, work up safely. often he will get you data within a couple days.

I have used 95gr boat tails in my .243 in the past.

I found that 45.5gr of IMR 7828 was the best/most accurate. its also just a half grain under max load in my old manual. My new manual says that 45.0gr is a max load. but I see no signs of pressure so I'm not too worried.

My new Hornady manual says for IMR 4350 (minload) 37.4 gr @ 2700 fps to (max Load) 40.8gr @2900 fps. This is for BTSP tip, SST tip, Sp tip and RN bullets.

You also could try http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp Lots of info here.

But I would definatly email Berger for load data, for me he emailed back in about 2 days with all the data I asked for.

Good luck
Cheers!
