RE: 243 hand loads question
Hey yall I got a question.
I loaded some 243's last week and shot the trying out two different powders. IMR 4350 and Win 760 (both starting loads). I'm using the Hornady 100gr.BTSP. I loaded them to the cannalure with just a ever so slight crimp. I shot two five shot groups with each load. They were about inch and a half to two inch groups.
My question is this, How can I tighten up the load? I want to keep them light as I can as this loadwill mainly be used by my 10 year old girl in her single shot. What tricks can I try before moving up in powder charge? I compared the length to factory Remingtons loads and mine are shorter, but I seated the bullets to the center of the canalure. SO I dont think I can move it much. I'll get my calipers and check the length when I get back to the bench this week.
Ive never laoded rifle ammo before only 9mm and 38 target ammo. As long as it went bang I was happy. Now I want groups[8D]
