[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 877003, member: 66495"] Thanks for the info. What kind of velocities were you getting with 47grs of H1000 behind that 87 gr Berger? Also what primer were you using? I forgot to mention what you said about barrel life too. From some of the research I've done, a lot of people said that the H1000 would extend the barrel life, which would be a nice bonus if this combo works. I really wanted to spit 95 gr Bergers out of this rifle, but it has a 1:10 twist barrel. When I'm through with this barrel I plan on having a nice custom barrel installed with a 1:9 so I can spit some bigger pills out there. I absolutely love the .243 as a caliber. From deer all the way down to prarie dogs, it's my go to gun. For shots longer than 500 yards on deer, and game any bigger than a deer I use my 7mm. Thanks for that. I think you will probably be right about the primer. I loaded some 22-250 rounds for a friend and he forgot to bring his WLR primers, so I used my WLRM's. I had pressure signs before I even got close to the max suggested load. Once he brought the right primers, we were good to go all the way up to the max suggested load (Info from Load Data, using Varget powder) and then some. Thanks for the info so far guys, keep it coming. :) [/QUOTE]
