Nosler 95 BT have worked well for me out of the 243wssm. Pretty tough bullet...

RL-17 and 100 gr partitions. Hard to beat that combo. Wonder if RL-16 will end up edging RL-17 in some of these rounds. New data shows it running pretty close. RL-16 is reportedly more temp resistant and has an anti fouling agent. Isn't '16 a tad slower than '17? DF

I used a 100gr Sierra PH over 45gr of RL26 last year to take a nice doe. Good killer, but no exit. This year will try the Partitions over a bit more powder possibly, if the accuracy's there in the new rifle, but the ETip is my primary focus, so may not get the NPs out in the woods, which is okay because I know they'll work when I do.

How does RL-26 compare to RL-16 in the .243 with 100 gr. bullets?

DF Not sure DF, I have no experience with 16, the little 100 gr NPT near 3K in my FWT with the 2-7 Leupold will do it all as far as I'd point that rig at a deer or pig.

I've got loads to compare RL-16 with RL-17 in the Creedmoor and 7mm-08. Just gotta find time and dry weather to get to my range.
Tomorrow would be perfect, but Bushhogging roads in the woods where I deer hunt takes precedent.

LOL, 10-4 Main, open those punch lanes, got a dozer guy coming out here to move some dirt so I can see clear to 600 on my Sharps Rifle range.

DF Us too. Started a couple Saturdays ago. The bush-hogging ain't so bad, it's the pole-saw and brushcutter tune-ups along the edges that take it out of you. We also started taking the ATV sprayer down our lanes a week or two after bush-hogging and hitting them with generic round-up. Keeps the weeds from coming back and kills the stalks/stems so disking and planting is easier a couple months later.
Now with even more aplomb

DF No RL16 data in the book I have, but a recent HANDLOADER article had velocities in line with other slow-burners. 26 data shows a couple bullets at over 3200. One thing I like about the Alliant book is there seem to be more bullets of a given weight listed than some others have.

I downloaded the latest Sierra load data for the 6.5 CM. WIth heavier bullets, they show loads for RL-16 and RL-17, pretty close performance, '16 needing a slightly larger charge vs. '17 for same velocity. Appears that '16 is slightly slower than '17. But, that's not as confusing as Leupold's product ID ... DF

You gonna be one dangerous dude, that ole Sharps out on a 600 yd. range... I'm set up very nice for closer shooting, would be nice to stretch it out like that. DF

100 grain Sierra Gameking or Prohunter, whichever the rifle likes best on top of a tank full of IMR-4350 or something in ths burn range.
Will leave most deer dead right where they stood at the shot.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

DF Got over a 1/2 mile the other way for regular rifle is you want to twist, i can see my 100, 400, 500 and 600 yard gongs, need to get a high spot cut down so I can see the two and three hundred yard gongs.

100 grain Partition and some IMR-4350 will get er done. Mine also likes Reloader 19.

I don't care about cost alot for hunting. But interlocks are 1/2 the price of partitions, usually. Similar bullets. Though I got one gun will shoot one, other shoots the other. Same powder, grain, same twist, and length.
I know people will disagree on weight, but I would pick out 2 100 grain bullets and try them out. Though you can get into the huge debate of ballistic tips too. I started with Hornady cause 1/2 the price though. Mine may never hunt deer, I have bigger rifles. But I wanted to record what works, in case I need it some day. Mine i medium barrel. Also will piss people off, in case a young person or woman wants to hunt.
