    243 AI 75gr V-Max load data

    Title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for some load data for a 243 AI with 75 V-Max. I'll be using 210m primers and would prefer to use H414 because I have lots of both. I would consider using 70 blitzkings also if anyone has any personal favorites. Thanks for any and all help.

    260 VS 243

    I realize that there a benefits too each. The 260 has bullets that have a higher BC than the 243. While the 243 has a lot more options in terms of brass. My question is: is the 260 better bottom line vs the 243 from 0-1000 meters in terms of accuracy? Also this is probably going to show my...
