Don't exceed 22 grains of Blue Dot in a 243...just a reminder...

22 grains with a 95 grain Ballistic Tip will yield about 2600 fps.... maybe a little more...


22 grains won't happen. I'm loading for an 8 year old girl and her 10 year old brother to shoot out of a compact Ruger, 16" barrel with these 55gr Noslers. Cheap bullet by the 1000. If they have any accuracy at all I'll stay with this 15gr BD load.

That Fiochi 243 brass is very nice.
