Default RE: 243 LOADS ???

I just got my loadbooks back home with me.

The Hornaday 58gr Vmax does not list IMR 4350 for any loads nor does the 75gr Vmax list IMR 4350.

The 75gr Vmax does list H 4350 with a minimum load of 40.3gr @ 2900fps and a max load at 46.7grs (3400fps).

I have loaded IMRR 4831, H4895, Viht N-160 and Win 760 with the 75gr Vmax and HPs with great luck.

My most recent load is the 75gr HP, 44 grains of Win 760, and CCI 200 primers. This load is devastating on coyotes and jackrabbits (Thats all I've shot with it so far), and a cottontail this evening at a lasered 255 yards.

I worked up a load for my buddies Savage 243 last year that consisted of 44grains of Viht N-160, Fed primers, winchester brass, and the 75gr VMax. This load shot very well, and took out alot of coyotes.

I have had the HPs shoot better that the VMaxs out of both of my 243s, I haveat Tikka T-3 and a Remington 700. Also, if you are saving coyote pelts I had almost every VMax blow thru, while the HPs have not been.

If you would like any more load data feel free to holler!
