Re up on the .243 85gr Partition

Question for you .243 Win shooters. What should I reasonably expect for velocity from 85gr Partitions out of a 22 inch barrel?
I'm using W785 but would be interested in what y'all use and what you get. Thanks and regards, Woody

my favorite powder in the 243 is IMR 4064.

With the 85gr. Partition I use H414 and I get around 3200 fps put of a 22 inch barrel. Work up to max, back off a grain and kill game.

+1

I'm shooting the 80 gr TTSX in front of 46.8 gr of Ramshot Hunter for 3415 fps. Absolutely deadly on whitetails and antelope.

P.S. Rifle has a 24" barrel.

You'll max out around 3200 if all goes well, with a Partition.

Ran out of H414 and now use 4350 and like it. Plenty of velocity at top charges.

As a rule, my 80-87 gr. Bullets do best with 4064. 95 gr.-105 gr. get 4350.

This after owning/loading for more 243s than I can honestly remember......

So for 90gr bullets, would you go with 4050 or 4364?

Naw, For those 90 you need Superformance.

+1, I'm not a speed chaser and using 4350 has been super accurate/consistent in my .243 customs running 2900 fps.
