What Powder For .243

[red rick]

What powder would you recommend for .243 and 70 to 100 grain hunting bullets , or is that too large a spread for one powder ?

 

[GooseGestapo]

Use Varget or IMR4064 with 70-90gr
Use IMR or H4350 with 95-100gr.

I came prepared to say Varget and H4350; but no need.

Ramshot Big Game for 70 gr bullets and Reloder 17 for 90 to 100 gr.

6.5 Staball is working very well for me and great velocities using 90gr Accubonds.

I use IMR4350 in my daughters Savage 110 and a 100 gr Hornady Interlock bullet. Put 3 deer in the freezer this year including 2 does with 1 bullet.

42.2 grains of IMR 4350 gets my 80-grain Barnes TTSXs going about 3100 fps. None of the deer I've shot with that combination have put up an argument.

IMR 4350. 41.0 gr with 100gr Hornady Sp has been a good load for me for the last 30 years

I've always used IMR4350.
However it's been hard to find, so a few weeks ago I picked up some N540 and have worked up a very good load with it. Tighter groups than my old load.
I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I've used IMR, Hodgdon, and Accurate 4350 with weights from 85-100gr. The lower weight bullets were run with H380.

I have used Hybrid 100 for one of them with excellent results, but only in one rifle. The other three get the above powders.
