.243 Win 75 V-max Load

[longrangehunter]

Just starting to load for my .243 Win, got some 75 grain hornady v-max and varget powder... any suggestions on load data for varget or any other powder? 75 load data seems to be hard to come by.
Thanks

I don't know about varget but I've love 75 Vmax over 39.2 gr of RL15, WLR, Lapua Case, OAL out of the Hornady 7th. That load has shot under 1/2 MOA in 3 of my 243's (2 of them are light barreled AR10's for yote hunting) In the heavy barrel rifle (just a thrown together Savage with a McGowen 28" 1-8 pre-fit) that load shot single hole 5 shot groups all day long, 1.25" @ 400 till about 1000 rds.

Sierra has some loads for 75's lumped in with 70's. Varget looks like a good choice for velocity. For accuracy it certainly is a good powder in the 6BR.

It would have been helpful if you'd have included your barrel length and twist rate....

So as a point of referance, mine is a 26" 1-10 twist. Try carefully working up to around 44gr. of either N550 or R-17. I use Rem 9 1/2 primers and Norma or Winchester brass. Works great for me. Let us know how it turns out. WD

Try data.hodgdon.com

They have 75 grain data based on Win Brass and 24" barrels

HOt load of IMR 4064 with a fed primer, bullet touching the lands. I use a Bonanza/Forester neck sizer to bump shoulders after firing this load, velocity is 3400 fps + with great accuracy.

A load in the 3300 fps area is 44.5g of Win 760 with a fed 210 primer in a 9 1/4 inch twist.

Greetings,
I have had great luck and results with the Sierra 75gr HP over 38.0gr Varget. Very good coyoyte combo and shoots less than 1/2 moa in my 10 twist Shilen.
Good luck,
John
