My New Toy/Rifle..
« on: January 27, 2009, 03:50:53 PM »
Got this rifle for my birthday and just got it setup the way I want it. Remington 700 243 with 24" barrel.  Plan on using it for Coyotes and longer range shooting. Upgraded the stock to the Boyds thumbhole stock and then bedded it and floated the barrel.  Now just need to take it out and shoot and break it in.  I am hoping to get some good accuracy out of it. Anyone have any suggestions for hand loads?

Looks like it will do just fine for killing some song dogs! Sweet set up.

Very cool toy. 55 gr Nosler ballistic tip. 52 gr H-380. Mine is doing just under 4000 fps. My gun likes this load
My partner is shooting same gun, caliber, and bullet. He's using 52 gr of H=414 and getting 4110 fps out of it. FUN FUN
