.243 A Max load
« on: July 27, 2009, 03:26:43 PM »
Been wanting to try 105 A Max's through the .243 but having trouble finding data. The only one I've been able to find is 47.5 grains of IMR 7828 going around 3125, anyone have any knowledge of this load or others that will work with the 105's.

I have had great success with IMR 4350 with that size bullet.  Been awhile since I loaded those though, can't recall the amount of powder.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Where did you get the data for 47.5gr of IMR 7828? I have the most current Hornady book in front of me and it lists 43.0gr as the max. The hottest load Hornady lists is 47.7gr of Win WMR at 3000fps, and this is a max load. The load you gave would be hot in a 240 Weatherby! :yike:

Here's a link to Hodgdon's load data. They have lots of loads for the 105 A-Max.

I would be extremely careful if you're going to try that IMR 7828 load.
