Handloading the 243 Winchester. I am thinking about using DRT brass RL 17 powder 95 grain Silvertips and CCI BR 2 primers anyone have any thoughts on this.
You're going to have to do your part for that to happen, which is way more important than what bullet you use.I'm open to any bullets that will knock down Whitetail Dead Right There
What barrel twist are we talking? Ruger, rem? Savage? They are a Lil faster than the other brands and thus you're looking at different solutions, if it's a winny barrel (or like twist) the partitions, flat based speers, and Sierra prohunters work well, for faster twists, the boat tail b tip types will work beautifully, (excluding the 85 game king here) I push the 85-90 gr pills nicely (and accurately) hard with imr4831 but I'd slow the b tips and light game kings down for any shots under 75yds (mv <2900 mid road 4831sc or h380 or imr4166) for 95-100 gr bullets I run max loads of h1000. Imr4451 can be used with the mid heavies nicely but at slightly lower velocities. You didn't give us much to go on, so I'm giving you LOTS of filler. Performance wise, I've never noticed a difference between b tips and silver tips.I just got some Hybrid 100V powder and some H4350. I now have 3 different powders to test. I have some Nosler partitions and accubonds on the way. I should be able to come up with a tack driving deer killing round out of these components.
