Title: .243 Handloads for Remington Core-lokt
Post by: firefightr on November 07, 2012, 04:10:27 PM: So new guy here to reloading and I have been reloading the Nosler Ballastic Tips in 95 gr. and they have done just fine. I picked up a bag of .243 remington Core-lokt bullets to make some for my kids to shoot(much cheaper) to get used to shooting. I am unable to find any reliable load data for these particular bullets. Pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
