Shot the 243 this evening again. Seems to like the Federal Fusion 95gr factory with 5 in less than 1.5" sometimes less than 1". I decided that after not getting the repeated good groups with the IMR4350 that I would give IMR4064 a try. Glad I did, it shot 5 within an inch 2 different times. Bullet was Speer 70gr TNT at 2.625 OAL and 40gr of 4064. i also loaded 5 at 40.5 and they shot within an inch. Ran out of light but got 5 loaded up at 40.5grs and seated the bullets out a little further. I ran out of light but will give them a try soon and try several different seating depths to see if I can tighten them up a little. Looks like gun may turn out to be a keeper but it seems really finicky, more so than other rifles I have worked with.
