Who has a Sierra book handy?

[pushcoguy]

I was told recently that a good starting point, when developing a load, can be Sierra's "most accurate" load tested. I have some new bullets on the way, and wonder what Sierra found to be the most accurate for a .243 Winchester / 85gr projo. If someone has the book handy, I would appreciate the input. If not, I'll get with my dad before long. He has a Sierra Manual.

Thanks,

Hello,

Are you SURE you have 85gr .308 bullets on the way?

Ha! Yeah, I've been loading mostly .308 lately. I meant to say .243 Win.

Thanks for pointing out the mistake. Edited the original post.

According to the manual :

Accuracy load N140 37.3 gr.
Hunting IMR 4064 38gr.

I tried to load a pic from my tablet, but I think the image is too large

In the older 4th edition Sierra manual the suggested Accuracy and the Hunting load are the same for the 243 Win. with 85 gr. 37.3 grs IMR 4064 (3100 fps)
