re 17 and 105 amax in 243

[bowzarrow]

just wondered if anyone had a good load for 243 win--105amax and re17. I have not been able to find any data for this combo. Thanks, Shane

I use about 46 gr of H1000 in my 243 WIN with 105 A-MAX (moly coated).

I do use RL-17 in my K31 Swiss, but haven't tried it in my 243.

Not the 105 A-max but the 105 Berger VLD . . .

Ruger VT 26", 1:9"

105 Berger VLD
2.910" (.010" off lands)
Fed. brass
Rem. LR primer
43.3 Gr R17 = 3170 FPS

Alliant's site has this data for 100 grain: 243 Winchester Speer 100 gr BTSP Winchester brass, 2.625" COAL, 24" barrel, Fed 210 Reloder 17 40.8 grains, 3,044 FPS

The .243 Win is brass sensitive, start low and work your way up.
