95gr Berger Classic Hunters shoot exceptionally well out of our factory weatherby vanguard .243 1:10twist Edit: missed where you said you already ordered other bullets. good luck! any of the 4350 powders shoot well for us with 90+gr bullets

that stove kept us in underwear in a 12 x 14 wall tent with 5ft walls down in single digits. with good wood, we could keep the pipe cherry red almost all the way to the top. point being, it drafts well and put out good heat. fire box is large enough it will hold wood for a bit too.

my wife has a 243 vanguard 2005ish vintage. we put a timney trigger on it and its great. best part....... now its a 3 position saftey! I believe this was the older style vanguard like you have.

Some folks say hammers are expensive... but they really are not when you consider the efficiency of the load development process. 3 rifles for me so far. each was 3 shot sub MOA @100 with less than 13rds each... one of the rifles was a consistent 2in rifle @100yds with various factory and...

Vortex - I topped out at 60gr 4831sc compressed @3039fps with the 133gr hammer for reference

Nice! Any idea what your eneded up with for velocity?

Hammer bullets also

The 200 AB has been a good killer in my dads 325 (same rifle as you). I think he uses h380 powder.... he has not taken the time to find an accurate load (1.5-2moa currently) but has killed several elk ad several deer with it. it hits hard

They look good too. wonder how 145s and RL26 would do well together in a standard 1:10 270win

roughwater, do a little playing around with the 133s vs 117s on a ballistic calc. depending on what range limit you set and the animal your chasing, you might be surprised. (or you might not be lol)

understandable! i should be taking delivery of some 133s early this week for a tikka 270win. What powders are you going to try? I was going to start with the standard 4831sc and H4350. Some of the RL powders sound interesting, no experience though

How did those Hammers shoot for ya Vortex! ?

Hi there from Columbia Falls. Excited for your new products. Love to see Made in Montana shooting products

sounds like you have another shooter. Perhaps with some seating tuning, maybe a long range ladder test you could get those A-max dialed in too. I really want a break on my next rifle but am concerned about the noise. might have to spring for some of those earplugs that amplify quite sounds and...
