need start load data

[Banded82491]

i'm building a new rifle and i would like to shoot the 115 DTAC bullets, but i can't find any start load data for that bullet. it is a standard .243 win. hope someone can help

I used to shoot the 243win, i since have moved on to the 308win for F-T/R shooting. But try IMR4831 or H4831SC w/ CCI BR2 and start with about 39 grs and WORK UP in .3gr increments I cant tell you how important that is each rifle is different and needs its own load data.

I forgot to add H1000 and Retumbo are also very good powders

Thanks, i currently shoot a M40A3 in .308, and am really pleased, but at 1000 i'm behind the smaller cals in the wind, so i've decided to try a 6mm, Thanks again eric32

no problem i was using a 243win when i first started shooting and it would shoot light out at 1k. i was shooting 42gr imr 4831 and the 107smk lapua bras. i shot in the 280's with 6X for my first match i was still trying to get it on paper for the first 4 rounds of the string. remember to pack lots of ammo for your first match i barely brought enough for the 3 matches that day.
