Help on .243 reloads

Remember also, that if that 243 Win has the 1/10 twist, you might find bullet over 100 grain will not fully stabilize and could start yawing or keyholing.

FOR SALE!!!
115 gr Berger bullets
CHEAP!!!

If you can’t use them put them up for trade for something you can use. Might be better that way instead of trying to find something in this market and would probably be quicker.

The 100 gr. Partitions are golden

MikeWhy, It appears the overwhelming consensus is I can’t use them so they are officially for sell. That is the correct part # and I have 2 boxes of 100 less the 3 bullets I used last night. I also have 2 boxes of Sierra Matchking 110 gr part #1575 that I probably can’t use(also .243).

it has been so hard for me to purchase bullets and powder that I have had to pick 2 powders and then get various bullets as I stumble on them.
I have H4350 that I purchased on the black market for twice the going price and Winchester Staball 6.5 that I stumbled on from a local retailer not price gouging!
I have the following bullets
Hornady 100 gr BTSP interlock
Hornady 90 gr ELD-X
Hornady 95 gr SST
Hornady 87gr V-Max( yotes and varmints )
Nosler 95 gr ballistic tips
Nosler 100 gr Partition
Berger 108 gr elite hunter match grade
What do you guys think are the best hog and deer loads with any of these powder/bullet combos? My barrel is a 1/10 twist.

For deer and hogs using a 10tw 243 and given your list above the 95gr SST and the 95gr Ballistic tips should work well. H4350 is a good powder for either of these. And I would not count the 6.5 Staball out.

At some point when they again become available get your hands on some Sierra 85gr HPBT bullets. They work better than anything else I've ever used from a 243 on deer or hogs. VERY accurate bullets and perform well. JME. WD
