OK, was hopeing sombody had some recomendations on loads for the 243. so far i like it for what it is, a meat and potatoes gun. I got some 55 grain varmit loads so far, would like to know more about the bigger stuff. The synthetic stock isnt the best, but works for me ( do over would be walnut version ) the pre mounted scope is marginal also, but good start. next ones gona be a nikon. my complaints arent in caps, because you get what you pay for.
