243 Win and 95 Bibs Load Info?

[signut]

getting ready to load up some new W/W 243's with a small supply of 95 Bib's that I have. Will be run thru a Sako L579 with a 9 or 10 twist barrel ( not sure, factory barrel ). Any load suggestions / Don't need to run it at full throttle, just get it shooting good. Have RL15, RL17,RL19, 4831sc,H4895 ,H1000 to play with.Thanks in advance.

R-17 would be my pick of the powders listed that you have for the 95 bibs with a 9 or 10 twist barrel. If you decide on R-17 you might want to consider developing the load with a magnum primer such as the Rem 9 1/2M. JMHO. WD

out of the ones you listed....RL17. I tried 4831 & 1000 but nothing has come close to IMR or H 4350. RL17 is right in that range. even with 100 gr.....4350.

4350 and 414 have long been the go to powders for the 243.

Sine you don't list either (H/IMR) 4350 as options, you may be pleasantly surprised with the RL-17 - in similar case capacity cases, and bore diameters on both sides (.22 & .25 Cals.), I have found very pleasing velocity and precision using this powder. The only down-side is scant loading data. Via .220 Ackley Imp. Swifts, and .257 Ackley Imp., and a wild-cat 6mm (long - necked 6/250 Ackley Imp.), with a range of bullet weights, RL-17 has delivered excellent results. RG

I hope so, Randy. I have 10 lbs of it to try in the 284 Shehane that I'm building.
