What sorta speeds did '17 yield for you in the SAAMI 243 Montucky(s) you've gunned it in,with 90 Skinners? Google it. Laughing!

200's,Lapooey Three-oh-not-so-great false shoulders and a smooch. Google it

Fairly fhuqking poignant,that a 10" SAAMI 243 is sucha Giant Killer and slaps things about so easily


My Googling skills turn up a few loads of 17 behind the 90 Lapua, but nobody seems to touch (or discuss) the 3350 mark. I've seen mention of 3100, maybe some 3200 or 3225. Why no talk of getting the 90 to 3350?

A 90 "skinner" clocked at 3350 out of a 22in barreled 243 win sure would make a man reconsider the 257 Wby. Not saying those numbers can't be reached, but I don't see anyone else talking about similar velocities.

Would you rather have:

1) The 90 Lapua running at (hypothetically) 3350.
2) The 115 Nosler Blue BTip running at a (real world) 3400.

.434 Lapua BC
.452 Nosler BC

Thats all I've got. And on paper, I kinda want the Nosler with a little extra weight, faster wings, and more BC.

In the field, I don't think deer sized game wants either of them.
