    Post .243 Winchester Load Data

    So I'm throwing this up here because I'm looking at developing some new loads and wanted to see what others had used. I'm really wanting to load some of the Sierra GameKing 85 Gr HPBT. I'll put some of my previous loads on here once I get home to the reloading bench and the reloaded history book on the bench.

    I'd like to see if maybe there could also be a sub-topic in the ammunition & reloading section to put various reload data based on caliber that people have done. Something where you could get on here and check the caliber and see if someone else has already developed a load for a certain bullet. I get tired of chasing through books and the internet looking for something that isn't available through either.
    If only ammo was cheap. Wait. I reload. Darn .22 lr.

    I had a 6mm Rem that liked IMR 4895 with the Sierra 85 gr, it was even better with the Speer 85 gr BT. I don't remember the charge. In 243 (and 6mm), I've had real good luck with IMR 4350 and 100 grain bullets.

    Not exactly what you're looking for but maybe a starting point.

    Each rifle may like something different. I could completely cover a 200 yd 5-shot group with a quarter using the loads below.

    Hornady 87gr BTHP
    43.5gr IMR 4350
    CCI-200 primer

    My favorite (and most accurate) woodchuck load was 40 grs of H380 behind a Sierra 75 gr HP. YMMV
