I have a savage 243 with a 1 in 9.25 twist barrel headed my way.
I've never loaded for a 243 and just wondering what people have tried that has worked.
I'm thinking a 95 or 105 gr VLD with the bullet touching the rifling is where I'll start with winchester brass (most likely).
I have some Federal 215 magnum primers as well as some CCI bench rest magnum primers.
Any issue using a magnum primer on this round?
Is there a high BC bonded bullet in 243 / 6 mm ?
What is the go to powder for this round?
Suggestion for a starting point and max safe load?
Thanks,
Craig
