[QUOTE="243yote, post: 370791, member: 16909"] I have been using 70 gr pills for my 243. I started using H380 but it is temp sensitive. I also tried Ramshot hunter powder. Good powder did not have any problems. I was using Sierra 70 biltzking but ranout and tried 65 gr V-max and good groups with Hunter powder 3/4 groups at 200yds. Ranout of 65 gr V-max and tried 70 gr Nosler BT. Good bullets but fouled my barrel bad. More than the Sierras or the V-max. I also tried the 87 gr V-max but on coyotes makes a mess. Also called Ramshot and they told me Hunter powder is better suited for heavier bullets in my caliber. They recommended Big Game powder for the lighter bullets i was shooting . Now i am using Winchester 760 powder with the Nosler bullets with Federal lrg rifle primers and i am happy with it. I shoot a stock Savage Model 10 with no alterations. [/QUOTE]
