Gents,
I'm loading for one of my problem children, Ruger No.1a .243 Winchester.
I have a couple of boxes of the above listed bullets and wanted to load a few to test.
I used VV N160. Hornady lists this load at 3200 fps. I only load 5 rounds for testing but today did just 4.
I happened to look at a burn chart just now and N160 is # 135 whereas Varget, which is also listed as a powder, is #108. Quite a bit faster.
I had the N160, so I ran with it, is it too slow for a bullet only 65 grains??
Also is anyone running the 65s in a 10 twist .243? If so, what is your accuracy?
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Semper Fidelis
