Hey guys, want to post a picture and see what you guys think, I have a 243 I am doing load development for, it has a rem factory barrel and action (for now)

Load info

Lapua Brass
CCI Lg Primer
IMR 4064
Hornaday 75 VMax
COAL length of 2.260 (measured with a comparator)

Starting at the Bottom left and going clockwise ending with the center, 41.0, 41.5, 42.0, 42.3, 42.6

42.0 is listed book max, I am gonna go up in .2 increments until I hit pressure.

Who has done work with the Vmax bullets? I have them .015 off the lands. When I find the best looking powder charge I will adjust that, what has everyone else been doing with Vmax bullets?

P.S. I shoot three shot groups because of barrel heat and barrel life.
 
Re: 75 Vmax loads - 243 WIN

I will if these dont show promise, I have been working trying to find that perfect bughole load but this rifle is proving to not wanna shoot anything other than about .75 MOA, this is with 3 powders and 3 bullets and various combos of them....
 
Re: 75 Vmax loads - 243 WIN

My rifle likes RE15 with these bullets. I dont have the load data with me but i was getting .5 - .75 moa (5 shots) 100 yds, With a factory barrel. If ur interested in the data pm me and ill send it to you when i get home from work.
