243 115 dtacs

[jsthntn247]

I've got a 25" barrel 1:7 twist I'm looking to load the dtacs with. I tried H4350 today and had a node around 41.5 but it was small, .3 on either side opened up. I thought about trying H4831 as I have plenty of room in the case for a few extra grains without compression. Anybody ever use 4831sc and a 115 in a straight 243? What would be a good place to start?

I have used 42.0gr of H4350 with great success, and also know of some friends that were running like 47g of H1000. Sorry, don't have any data for 4831 but thought I'd give you some other experiences anyway.

42.0 and 42.2 gr of 4350 have shot the best but seemed on the warm side. 47.6 of H-1000 is what I've settled on for now, hopefully it will give a little barrel and brass life.

I ran RL-25 behind moly'ed 115DTACs in my .243Win Match. 47.2gr got 3070fps.
A full case of slow burn powder might be advantageous...

H4831 is an excellent powder in the 243 Win. By all means, give it a try.

I did, 44.9gr was in a high node running about 3020
