.243---110SMK and 4831SC ?

Bully

Silver $$ Contributor
I'm trying to find a starting load for a .243 I'm going to have built (waiting on the barrel).

I'll be running a 7twist at around 26"
Lapua brass
Federal LR primers
4831sc powder
Sierra 110smk bullets

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I'm running a Broughton 1-7 cant rifling twist.
I'm shooting 107gr SMK
40.5gr. of H4831sc
Federal Match 210 primer
Lapua Brass Neck turned at .2685 due to tight neck.
_____________

105 gr. Berger Hunting VLD
40.6 gr. H4831sc
Same Brass and same Primer as top load.

Maybe somewhere around that range in powder you can start. I would start at a lower charge than mine. I have never tried 110 SMK on my 1-7 twist Broughton.

Thanks a ton. It's a start. I appreciate it.
