[QUOTE="Gene Jr., post: 314571, member: 15474"] I have been watching this thread with interest. I'm working with a 243 win with a 18" barrel to get the most effective range possible. This rifle will be used for whitetail and LR predator and groundhog. It shoots 95gr NBT well and I've been trying different powders to find the highest MV for an accuracy load. So far H4350 looks to be the best with an accuracy load just over 3000fps. This is as much as I could ever have hoped for out of such a short barrel. It is a warm load and loaded to the lands and just fits in the magazine box. This rifle was never intended to be a dedicated long range gun. But it sure is nice when your treestand gun is capable of 600 yards! [/QUOTE]
