Title: My New Toy/Rifle..
Post by: coop2424 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?

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
