Title: McWhorter time with Bergers
Post by: BKMFR on February 28, 2015, 03:08:24 PM
Finally after months of waiting I rec'd some Berger 6mm 87 grain VLD Hunting bullets, Ordered plenty thinking I would hedge my bet a bit... in the last two days I've rec'd 24 boxes of 100! Time to get to reloading....finally!  :) :) Loading for a McWhorter .243 w/Nightforce, has shot exceptionally well in the past, but been limited due to lack of bullets.....

good for you! it's weird how exited we get when we receive or find the reloading supplies that may have seemed nearly impossible to find.last week I found the bullets and powder I've been trying to find for a couple months, youd of thought I won the lottery

That should be a killer combo!  I killed 60 dogs the last winter that I was home with a Hart Barreled Remington VSSF in 243 (12 twist) and 75 grain V-max.

An accurate 243 with the 75s or 87s is magical!

Post a pic of your rifle if you've got one.  Those McWhorters are sexy!
