Remington Etronx

[texasbilly]

I inherited a Remington Etronx rifle in 243 win. I have two questions:
1. Are the reloading recipes for a regular 243 win the same (or similar) to that of a Etronx 243 win?
2. I am missing the on/off key. Where can I purchase a key for this rifle?

Help?

No direct experience with the Etronx; just read a lot about it.
Except for the ignition system I don't see any difference between this .243 and any other Remington 700 .243.
But never having had my hands on one I can't and don't offer any advice here.
Here's some reading that might help you.

Always remember that, in these forums, the discussions are meant to include only opinions. Giving you advice on your subject would be reckless.

Should be about same but like any rifle/data start several grains below max and work up to be safe. Mine shot well with a grain under max of IMR4350 and 70BT but that was MINE. Converted it to conventional rd then sadly sold it, was a super shooter.

As for a key if Rem doesn't have one put WTB posts on here and other hunting/shooting forums and you might find one. Have no idea if the 3 different available calibers were all the same but would expect they were????

Yer mileage may vary.

i had two of them. one i had rebarreled to 6xc and it was the most accurate gun i've ever owned (and that's saying a lot) and the other had a factory 220swift barrel and it didn't shoot well at all, though i'm confident it would have been fine after rebarreling.

anyway, i couldn't say if the etronx primers were hot or cold relative to normal ones, but the standard "start 10% low and work up" rule probably will serve you well.

no clue on the key. however, if it were me, and recognizing it's just a switch, worse case i believe you can take the stock off and just short the two wires together that go to the key. i am assuming it's not that complicated electrically. i don't actually know.
