243 loads

**rtrageser** · February 26th, 2009, 07:59 PM

Anyone have any real good success with a particular load for 100 gr Sierra Spitzer's? Right now, I'm getting 3 shots in almost 1 hole, but the other 2 shots are about an inch away. That's the best 5 shot group I can get. My mod 70 seems to like 36.2 grs of IMR 4064, but I am going to try to tinker with it a bit. Just wondering if anyone has better success with a different powder or load. thanks
Ron

i like 44 gr. of IMR 4831 and 39.1 of IMR 4350 also 42 gr. of the 4350 seems to be quite accurate. these are pushing 100gr. Nolser BTSP

Thanks for the reply. I was out again today, and even in the wind, seemed to have pretty good luck with the 4064. Cut 3 holes in 1 again, the other 2 were about 3/8" to either side of them. Pretty happy with it, but i think i am going to tinker with the 4831 as well.

I recently finished working up a load for a friend's Rem. model 7 youth in .243. Out of all the bullet/powder combos I worked up, the most accurate for THAT rifle was 36gr of IMR 4064 behind a Berger 95gr VLD using a standard CCI primer.
