Shawn,

You kinda narrowed the field down by your two choices but I will give you my 243 AI pet load all the same .

107 Sierra match king over 41.6 grs. of h54350. Jumped 40 or so. A little over 3000( 3050 or so ) and very accurate . Very accurate . That is with a 7.5 twist Schneider bbl at 26 inch length .

shawn68....

I have a load for the 105gr Berger VLD......
48.5gr of RE-22, seated softly into the lands....avg velocity is 3247 fps out of a 27.5" Lilja 3 groove. Very low es, and extremely accurate in my rifle...1.5-2" at 500 yds. The Berger does wonders on deer and antelope also /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: 75g V Max load.......

48.0-48.5g of 760, Remington case, CCI-250 primer seated to touch the lands.

Cool guys. I have a place to start now thanks.

Varget with the 75gn V Max . Start around 41gns and work up at 0.3gn increments .
Topped out around 3700 FPS in my rifle .
H 4350 performs well too .

Here's my load with the 105grn Lapua Scenar:

46.5grns of H4350ext, .015" from the lands for an average velocity of 3262fps and consistant sub 1/2 moa accuracy.

Are you guys getting any signs of pressure at those hot volocaties?

 

[Pete L]

70 gr Berger with 52gr of Vit 160 3850 FPS,

 

[TMR]

No pressure at all....I am going to up the powder a little and see what happens when we get some warmer-not rainy weather. I think I am going to try some Ramshot Hunter also. I know my dad is using H380 with the 70 gr BT's and he runs just over 3800 fps out of his 26" barrel.

 

[shawn68]

holy nuts, thats sceaming fast

 

[shawn68]

my barrel is 1:9.... Do you think I can pull off the 105 VLD? I read that a 1:8 is recomended, but dosnt barrel length play a role in bullet stabillity?

 

[TMR]

Shawn,

You could give it a try...the extra speed of the AI might stabilize that bullet. I bought 800 bullets a while back, I could send you a few if you want to try them.

 

[shawn68]

250 of them showed up on my door yesterday. If they work realy good, you can send them all to me...

Just fooling around TMR, Thanks though,
