Re: Update: a 243 Remington SPS Varmint and 105's
I used Mag primers with the H1000 loads only. Yes with the 95s, and esp with the 105's. With the 105's I was getting (with old cheap) chrono 2988-2996fps. I used Win brass with all loads. I didn't even chrono the 95's as I had loaded 20 up, before hand and loaded with 38.5g to 41.5 of 4350, but didn't write down what order they were (DUH) I know, but I just wanted a load that would shoot 1" for my son to get a whitetail. With the ones with 47.5 of H1000 and mag primers (95s) I was getting 3100, but getting bad readings as well (3300???) So I stopped it, and was just looking for accuracy, and pressure problems, which I never saw. I did have a tiny bit of sticky bolt with the 105's when I tried 46.5 H1000, but no craters, eject mks, etc. and was only on 1 load, and it didn't have the accuracy as N Coyoye's load of 45.9, but I don't think he used Magnum Primers as Dan had told me to be sure to use. This will be my new pet load for the 105's @ .10 off lands, and the 87's with 43.5g 4350 but I will be playing with OAL, and hopefully getting a better chrono. I will also be loading some new 95's of what I have left, but Dan said they were shooting these 87s w/ 43.5 of imr4350 out to 1000, with no issues and great results, and a BC of .400. I will post more info as soon as I get back to load some more. I'm going to try working with the Remmy 243, 22/250, 204. I know they don't work in all the Rems, but it's a good starting point.
