20" barreled 243... reloads... faster powder needed??
« on: November 08, 2010, 04:15:29 PM »
Just curious, to get a good burn on that short barrel, do I need to go to something faster than the 380 I was going to use? BLC-2??

Thanks!! (I'm pushing an 85 grain TSX)..

I use IMR 4350 for a 20'' barrel in .243win. PLZ double check your reloading manual, and do not trust my memory, but I think I am using 40.5 grains with a 100 grain Hornaday interlock. Great success! I write everything in a book so I can refresh my brain when I need to reload!

I've had good luck with h414 with both the 55 and 95 noslers out of my 20" barrel
