14 TWIST .243 WIN.

[lyfestyl]

:,ANY SUGGESTIONS ON POWDER OF CHOICE FOR LIGHT WEIGHT BULLETS TO BE USED IN A 14 TWIST .243 WIN? I INTEND TO GO WITH 65-68 GRAINERS. I WISH I HAD A GOOD EXCUSE FOR HAVING A 14 TWIST IN THIS CALIBER, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME.

You should be able to use any powder that is in any of the loading manuals. Some of the powders that should work well would be Varget, Ramshot Hunter, H4350, H414, 760, N150, and N550 just to name a few for you.

Cordially,
Bob Blaine

THANKS BOB....I HAVE SEVERAL OF THOSE POWDERS ON HAND AND WILL START WITH THE N150. I E-MAILED RICH OF RICHARD'S CUSTOM GUNS PER A SUGGESTION FROM SOMEONE HERE AT 6MMBR, AND RICH RESPONDED THAT HE LIKED IMR4064 AND N160 BUT THIS WAS FOR HIS 6MM IMPROVED....IMPROVED WHAT I AM NOT SURE.... WITH 87 GRAIN BULLETS. I HAD ALREADY TRIED THE 4064 AND WAS NOT SATISFIED, BUT WILL GET IT FIGURED OUT I HOPE. I'M NOT SURE THE 14 TWIST WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!

THANKS....SCOTT

Try 35.5 gr of 133 ...it just might surprise you...let us know how it works for uu...Roger
OBTW ...no bullets above 74gr will work dependably or reliably with a 14" twist bbl....
