I've had a hard time finding bullets for reloading the 243. Bought some of these and want to try them. Anyone have any data they'd like to share?

take any 90 grain bullet load data, start lower and work up....
the ELD's are not all that special, or require special attention...
none of the one's I've loaded, which has been in 22 cal, 6mm, 6.5 mm and 7 mm.

Shoots the tightest groups for my gun using 41.0grs of W760 (avg 3008 fps ES 53) or 39.9grns of H380 (avg 3007 fps and ES of 17). This data led me to believe my rifle likes that speed. Coincidence?

If ya want some fast velocity which they need, since they are a hard bullet, I'd be loading if with a stiff load of RL 19 then....7828SC if you want to flow with IMR powders...
