Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Proven loads in the .243

I have had good luck with 70 and 75 gr Sierra bullets.

My 75 grain load I will not publish as I am using 4350 (75 gr bullet) surplus powder from the 70's. Check on line with Hodgdons for data.

The second I use 38 grains of 8208 with the 70 grain Sierra and winchester brass. Both loads shoot nice tight groups, with 8208 shooting the best and the 70's have the best BC of the two.
