RE: Good all around 243 load
 

I have seen people have excellent results using the sierra 85 gr gameking over imr4064.

RE: Good all around 243 load
 

The Sierra 85gr. BTHP would be my first choice also...

RE: Good all around 243 load
 

The only thingI load formy 243 win's and 6MM Rems is the 85 gr Barnes TSX bullets with RL-19 powder . I have tried most all the differentbrands of bullets and the Barnes is whatI ended up with . Accuracy is good , penetration is great and very little blood shot meat which isthe main reasonI startedusing them .

RE: Good all around 243 load
 

I would agree. The heavier the better in my opinion. I like to push the heaviest bullet i can efficently!

Rammer -

can you advise me of what you power / charge like to push the 70 Blitz kings with? Have you any any good groups using IMR 4350?

Also, I am looking for range in over-all case lenght for this load. I'm using new WIn. cases in a new Savage Mod. 11.

RE: Good all around 243 load
 

I've shot a ton of whitetails (well, at least 15 or so) with the .243 using the old 100 grain Hornady Interlock bullets, CCI 200 primers and 40.5 gr of IMR4350. All but one of these deer dropped like a rock. And this load was the most accurate out of my old Savage 110. Of course, there are a lot more different powders and bullets out now then when I used that rifle 35 years ago.
