Greetings. Anyone have a couple 22-243 loads they would care to share? 50 Gr. bullets and up would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You left out a lot of info, like your barrel twist and what weight bullet you would really like to shoot.
a 22-243 shooting 50gr bullets is a waste

Well 220 Swift velocities do make the 50 grainers flat shooters. We all are not trying to make our 22 CF"s long range steel shooters or deer rifles.

not in the 22/243... but I'd assume it was just 'more of a good thing' over a fast twist 22.250...
I run one of those with a one in 7 twist barrel on it...
68 grain hornady HP/BT, on up to the 80 grain A Maxes...there are a lot of candidates in that range..
my Ruger shoots them all very well.... and long distances.. flat shooting..
on edible game, like deer on up, they are quite effective...
If I was using one for deer hunting, my bullet choice would be the good old Speer 70 grain SMP...old school
current "school".. 75 BTHP or 80 grain AMax or the new version of it...
I thought about building one once.. but with 6mm bullet down to 55 grains and up to 115 grains.. I decided not to..
that is the barrel than ended up becoming a 22.250 with the fast twist...
The barrel came from me originally putting in on a 223, but sold the gun to a friend who was a gunsmith and wanted
it to make into a 222 Rem.. so I took it off and gave him the factory 223 barrel which he rechambered to the 222...
that barrel had about 8,000 round down it at that time...
addendum.. since you were asking about loads.. on the 22.250 fast twist, I tested powders in the 4350 and RL 17. 19 and 22 range.. but I found the best velocity powders/ accuracy turned out to be IMR 4895, 4064 and RL 15....hope that helps you out some...good luck in your quest...

Here's a copy & past from my reloading records for the 22-243. Lapua 243 brass was used with Fed 210M primers.
Berger 82gr LR // 45.0 RE26 // 3,426-42 // 400 yds // 3-1.60 // 2- .76 // .015 off // 6-27-19
