A friend gave me two boxes of 90 grain accubonds. My 6mm Remington does not like them. Thought I would try them in my 243 Winchester. Anyone have a good load with this bullet. I have plenty of various powders.

I had a Tikka a few years ago that loved the 90gr AB with 42 grains of IMR 4831.

One of our favorite bullets for deer hunting with both the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. We have had good results (accuracy and on deer) using IMR4350 and also H380 in one of our 6mm Rem. rifles, but Nosler doesn't list it in the load data for the .243 Win.

I also use IMR4831 with the 90gr Accubond in my Rem 700 243 win. Don’t recall the powder charge as I am at work but do remember the muzzle velocity is right at 3,050fps. Very accurate bullet….3 shot groups well under an inch at 100 yds.

If someone gave me those bullets, that is an easy answer....
38 to 39 grains of IMR 4064....
same charge and powder I use for any 100 grain, 95 grains and 90 & 87 grain bullets in a 243...
2950 to 3050 fps depending on bullet and if 22 or 24 inch barrel.
Never ever failed me yet. and they have taken down some good sized deer over the decades.
