[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1685438, member: 109862"] I haven’t used the nosler but I have played with the 58 vmax in a 243 and it just wasn’t that accurate, mine doesn’t shoot it’s best with anything under 85 grains. I was using imr 4350, which is a bit slow burning for this weight but still got around 3850 fps out of a 22” barrel. Stupid loud, bit flash. Very satisfying in explosivity. Blew a 6 inch ENTRANCE wound on a smallish pumpkin, no exit. By contrast the 90 grain Sierra fmj went through 9 pumpkins and kept going. I think imr 4064 or the newer 4166 might be perfect for this bullet weight in the .243. No experience with 4166 but I know the original 4064 is superbly consistent. [/QUOTE]
