Results! 5 shot groups at 100yrds. Hard to choose which charge weight is best, what do you guys think? 38gn and 39.5 seem to be really close. Couldn't upload the target pics here for whatever reason. Please visit the below link to view photos. H4350 load work up - 243 Win Thank you, Ryan

I'm using Lapua brass. The case capacity is 54.1 grains of H20.

Rifle is a Remington 700 SPS Varmint with a 26" barrel/ I use this rifle for mostly long range target shooting. I currently do not have a chrono. Here is the Quickload data Ive been looking at. 37gn seems fairly conservative. Second page is the Quickload data at 41gn that I plan on working...

I was thinking about loading some lower charges at 37gn, 37.5, 38, 38.5, then 39, 39.5, 40, 40.5, 41. Just to be safe, most of the people I have talked to say there load is around 41 - 42 grains, but when I saw that hodgdon's max I gotta a little nervous starting my workup at 39gn. But then...

with my seating depth of 2.800" Im .018 off the lands. Im confused because the starting charge weights vary so much between hodgdon and Hornady. Im trying to find a starting charge weight that will be safe but also be close to the accuracy node so that I dont have to waste time, powder and...

I've developed a fairly accurate load with my rifle using IMR-4350 and the 105 Amax in my .243 Win. I'm switching to H4350 because of less temperature sensitivity. I found two pounds of H4350 yesterday locally. So im starting a new load work up. What charge weight do you recommend I start my...

I just recently got into reloading about 6 months ago. During that time all I have loaded for is my .243 Win. Over that time I have put together a fairly accurate load. 105amax 40gn of IMR-4350 Federal 210M Seated at 2.800" OAL .020 off the lands. Lapua Brass I'm looking to get away from...

This is by far my favorite rifle, mainly because It is the most accurate Ive ever owned and to me a accurate bolt gun is alot more fun to shoot at long range than any semi. Its a Remington 700 SPS Varmint. Chambered in .243 Win. HS Precision Stock Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP TPS 20moa rail &...

They make super lows and they measure .820 should I go with those?

That's true, I wonder if they make super lows. Ill have to look real quick.

Just installed a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP on my Rem. 700 SPS tactical. I used TPS steel medium rings and a TPS 20 MOA base. TPS makes some quality stuff for sure. very nice for the price. Looks to tall for me. Too far off the barrel and too tall for a good check weld. I could put more...

Ive worked up from 37gn to 40gn and the rifle is shooting very accurately with 40gn. I'm not sure I will push it anymore. I may try 40.5 and 41gn in the future but right now I'm pretty happy. Shooting 1/2" groups at 100yrds now and 1" groups at 200yrds. I'm very curious as to what velocity I'm...

I'm fairly new to reloading. I'm getting ready to start reloading .243 for my Rem. 700 SPS V. My question is that I see a lot of people setting up there sizing die by raising the ram and turning in the sizing die until it touches the shell holder then lowering the ram and turning in the...

The COAL has been something I haven't completely wrapped my head around yet. I understand that it can be unsafe to seat them to far away from the lands and too close as well. That's why I put so much thought into making sure I do it correctly. The loads I previously shot loaded at 2.800"...
