Yes there are a lot of .243 loads on here. But most are max loads with heavy bullets. Would anyone BY chance have a good light load NOT blue dot!! But something that would be suitable for a 8 year old daughter to get trigger time!! We did the .22 thing and she met the 20 for 20 rule of all hits at 50 yards on 8" gong. She turning the heat up on me... So the rifle is ready cut down, painted pink, pink sling, her name in blue glitter on the stock. Wrapped under the tree.. Now I just need a cheap bullet, light recoil, 1 1/2" or less capable at 100 yards load... Some one has to of tinkered with this round. Any help we would love!!!!

I know it's not a reload but 95 grain Fusions shoot lights out in my kid's Savage .243. He has been shooting these since he was 9 and never complained.

I'll check them out, but she likes to shoot! So I'm going to have to reload to feed
That little shooting machine. Those 95 fusions might be good idea for deer seanon thou... Just thought might be a cheap load out there someone tried in these guns that shot okay.
