Hello All,
I am wondering if anyone has a long ranger in 243 and if so what loads are you shooting and what kind of accuracy are you getting?
Thanks

Do you reload or are you asking about factory ammo?

Id try some IMR 4350 and a Nosler 70Gr ballistic tip. I also Like the 95 grain ballistic tip. I have never had a 243 that didnt like the 70 grain with 4350. I cannot quote the actual weight of powder right now but Im sure you have a manual. The gun I have now in 243 will shoot 1/2 inch groups at 100yds with that bullet all day long. Al
