243 with 75 gr bullets

[hoene72]

Was just wondering is anyone using the 75 gr bullets out of a factory rifle with a 1-9.25 twist. If so what powder seem to work the best?

Thanks

I have hag great results using 70gr SMK w/42 gr Big Game in factory .243's. This is my go to load to see if one is a shooter.

I use the 70 & 80 gr Nosler ballistic tips in my Rem 700. The 70 gr bullet prefers 43.7gr IMR 4350 seated to 2.710" OAL and the 80 gr prefers 38.3 gr IMR 3031 seated to 2.815" OAL both with Federal 215 primers. My girl friend uses the 87 gr Vmax in her Mauser 98 with 42.7 gr IMR 4831 seated to 2.716" OAL with Fed 210 primers.

The 75 gr Vmax should work with IMR 4350 between 42.8 and 43.7 grains with between 3200 and 3300 FPS in a 26" barrel.
