IMR 4895 .243 loads

boarbuster71 · 01-14-2010, 01:13 PM

Hello,I was just wanting to know if anyone uses imr 4895 for their .243 handloads? I am currently using 43 grains of imr 4350 under 85 grain sierra HPBT bullets with pretty good results. I have a full can of 4895 and am wanting to see if I can use it to load the .243. Any recommendations or proven loads would be appreciated. Thanks

I use it in my A R and it love it! Only problem I don't have anymore and I have been looking for some time

I have used it with 70 gr speer hp and 80 gr nosler bts. The speer load is one of the most accurate and destructive varmint loads I have seen. In my experience, imr4895 works better with the 70-85 gr bullets
