22-243

Don’t have a 22-243,but I bet H-414 would work nicely,it does in my 22-250AI.Russ how is the gun twisted fast or slow?I bet some of the Sierra TMKs would be nice and maybe the 75 A-Max’s too.Russ do you still have your XP in 250AI ? from the VHA days

* Hornady 75g Amax RL-22 41.5g

CCI BR-2, Lapua brass. velocity ?

H4350 good results also at similar charge

Don't think either is a "varmint" bullet but you'd never know it. :)

With the heavier bullets like the 75's I'd look at giving RL26 a try. I use RL26 with the Berger 75's in a 22-6mm which is very similar to a 22-243 and it has been my go to powder for awhile now. Was using RL25 before that and RL26 not only shot a little better but it shoots the same bullet faster too.
 
My 22-243ai shoots good with RL 22 while fire forming but I hit pressure early when I tried working up a load. I picked up some H 1000 but haven’t had time to try it out yet. I’m actually so pleased with the fire form load that I’ve not been too worried about working up a load. I might just keep fire forming new brass and have a stockpile for my next barrel.
