Be damned, projects, projects, projects.
Not so much so with this one, it's about ready to rip right away, settled a debt with a buddy, he unloaded a really nice 243 FWT rifle on me, it's all there and came with an old leather sling, a set of Weaver bases, and two ancient yellow boxes of 100 gr Partitions, the bullets have a turned ring around them about mid bullet length.
Called a buddy at the local fun store asking about a scope and rings, he had an older gloss 2-7x33 Leupold and a set of gloss weaver rings, perfect.
Went by today and mounted scope and rings and boresighted it there at the shop, came home and dumped 43 grs of IMR-4350 under those old Partitions, 2988 and 2976 fps, GREAT!!!!!, loaded 5 more for accuracy testing tomorrow.
What do you guys know about the pre-64 FWT 243's?
I'm going to use these old bullets and rifle to take a deer or two right quick this year, can't imagine why the 100 gr Partitions at near 3K wouldn't do the trick.
