RE: 243 WSSM
 

I have a 6mm and a 243Wssm. Ive had plenty of luck with 90grn BTs in the 6mm but its in an old 788 which I dont like very much so I had to get something new in that great caliber size,


Ive loaded some 85 grn Nos Part with 45 grns of Rel19. Its shooting <1" groups so far so good. I havent had time to try much else out yet other then factory stuff.

Be careful the 45grns is above max so work up to it. I just received an email from Vitha Vuri on loads they finally worked up with their powder if you want some info on that. I have IMR and Hogdons load info. Also have loads from Hornadywith Alliants powders let me know if you need any info.

Hope your happy w/ the MOd 70. I have the black and blue and love the gun. Perfect balance, litewt. handy, $379w/Simmons 3-9 Bull**** scope already attached.

HOWEVER!!! I've had constant feed problems with it. I hope you don't find this problem w/yours.

If your roll your own, i'd start by going down. 2 reasons: I know the damage it does to whitetails and also have heard about accuracy probs from some.
I don't have the acc probs, but don't shoot match type stuff either.

I'm shooting 100 power pts @ about 2 1/2" @ 100yds, 3 shot group
That's about as still sa I could hold it anyway

good luck
Brad

RE: 243 WSSM
 

I have an A-bolt and have had no probs with feeding. Ive got the bullets loaded out almost as far as possible and still fit in theclip and its always smooth. This has been with Nos parts. and I have loaded but not shot some 85grn Sierra hps and they also work fine with no probs. The original factory ammo I used was the 100grn power pts and they worked fine. I bought them just to have something to shoot waiting for my dies and for mt brass.

Im not sure if theres much difference between the A-bolt and Winchester but Ive had no issues.
