Just got through doing load development on my buddies 6br improved and got some pretty amazing results. The gun is a Bat action, Jewell 5 oz trigger, 28" Krieger 1-8" twist, and an Edge HBR stock.
Using 34.0 grains of RL15, I got an average velo of 3210 and an sd of 7 with a group of .094" at 100 yards! That is pretty darn good I think. Now to go test this load against some others at 1k and then 1500 yards. Should be very entertaining.
BTW, out of 19 different loads, the largest sd I got was 15 and the lowest was 1. The largest 100 yard group was .710" and the smallest was .094" and the average was around .200"! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oops. Sorry. They are 95 grain Berger VLD's.

Hey GG, how do you think that 95g VLD would work out of a .243 for coyotes and deer?? I was thinking about trying them in my moms Ruger.

I think that they would work great for ranges in excess of 400 yards for deer, and anywhere for coyotes.
Here's a few pics of an antelope they took down:

The 95 Berger has a very short bearing surface and it will be unlikely that you can reach the lands in a Ruger. The barrel twist will be too slow and the 243 velocity will be too low to stabilize them. I suspect they will be sideways at 50 yds and you will not be able to find the paper at 100yds.
For deer, an 85 gr Speer BT or a 85 gr Barnes will work just fine.

couldn't catch you on your email jb..but ya the loading I think was your Williamsport load 31.2 rl 15 works fine...
been to the range 16 times this last 3 1/2 weeks with tests at a 1000 yds and in my barrel, my gun, my conditions it seems to give less verticle and a tighter agg. than 30.9...30.5....and for sure 31.5 grns.....still a "blast" no pun intended to hit a clay that far.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I went 1 for 1 twice this last week he he..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
