Loads for .243

texasboy112 · 12-30-2007, 11:29 AM

I just joined your forum, and I'm very impressed with it. I was wondering if anyone had any favorite loads for a .243; I just got a Tikka T3, Stainless, Laminated Stock in that cal. I'd like to stay with a 95 grain projectile.

Great advice Sam! Look online, or go buy a reloading manual.

Excellent choices. Have you considered some of the major reloading manuals as an origin point for your study? This is often a very good place and you may find certain loads recommended as accuracy loads.

Thanks to everyone that tried to point me in the right direction. I've had, from the beginning, the newest Sierra and Nosler Reloading Manuals, but as you know they're all "very" different in their recommendations.

Actually, someone e-mailed me who had the same gun (his was new also), and the load is as sweet as it could be, even for someone as fussy as I am with my groups. Again, thank you...
