Hadn't shot my LVSF 243 in a while, so yesterday I loaded up some R-P cases with 49 grains of W760 and a 58 grain VMax, and shot it some. Made me wonder why I ever use anything else to hunt coyotes with.

H4831SC setting under 100gr SGK gives great accuracy and knocks the snot outa deer .
Shoots under .5” pretty consistent in 1/10 twist 700 and .75” in 1/8 .
Same powder under 107 SMK in 1/8 shoots bug hole in the teens .
105A-max , same powder , .5”
Didn’t get to far on load development for A-max , ran out of bullets .
Not factory barrel .
As said 70gr TNT is very accurate too , don’t recall powder right now , been using 222 and 17HMR for groundhogs.

Then no need for me to respond this year then....

my next scheduled response should be in 2029... If I am still alive in 2029....

Been working up a load this week for the same rifle for deer season at the end of the month here...

Same rifle.. 38 grains of 4064 again and a 90 grain Ballistic Tip...

have been out this week, over at the range.. with a different scope... Bushnell Banner with a 5 aiming point reticle...

Off the bench on 9 X, was ringing steel with 15 rounds I had loaded up with 87 gr BTHP from Hornady...

300, 400, 500 and 550 yds .. bang clang...should be good to go it seems...again..

Nothing wrong with revived old threads in my book. New powders, new bullets come out and are added with results, plus a lot of data is captured in one place.

Love the 243 BTW. My last load is 55 gr. Hammer Hunters and 760. Lead free, accurate and scary fast. 4000+ fps. Great for coyote whacking and stackin.
