Cabelas generally sucks for actually purchasing anything. :(

my tikka .243 loves 52 gr of H380 with a 55 gr Nosler Balistic tip. Shoots 3950 fps and makes amess if u hit some bone. this yote was from 80 yards on sunday
I shoot a similar load 55gr Nos BT with 46gr H380. Just to be safe the hodgdon reloading site has 51 as max Load?
Cartridge: 243 Winchester

My Nosler book has max load at 53 gr :dunno: :dunno: I got the load info from a friend and my tikka loves it
Wierd? Just thought I would bring that up. Other than that my model 70 loves it also tight tight groups Love It!

I just use what the rifle is sighted in for. Which is a deer load, 100gr Hornaday interlock. I use IMR 4350 with it. Seems to turn coyotes inside out just fine!
How much 4350 do you use? Thanks.

40.5gr IMR 4350 should put the 100gr interlock between 2800 and 2900 fps. It drops deer in their tracks as well as coyotes. PLZ do your own research before using any loads given on this site!
Thanks C, I'll check it with my books. I bought some 414 for this gun but have the 4350 that I use for my -06.

Just bought a 243 an I'm going to load the 55gr noslers in front of h414 for predator/varmint duty. I'm looking at using the 105gr amax in front of retumbo for deer.
Let me know what u find once you start working with that combo, I'm working on a load with that exact bullet but just haven't had enough time lately.

Well 46grs (2772fps) of retumbo is starting load and 49grs compressed (2986fps) is max . I know I've read a lot on it and they say normaly the fuller the case is the accurate and uniform the pressure and vel will be so Ill let you know what I can do. I should get out this week and start on the 55gr noslers and the H414
I'll try that load next weekend and let you know how it works.

It suprised me to see the 55gr 243 has a better bc then a 55gr .22
Ya higher than hornady vmax 58gr also. :rockin:
Post by: Tikker on February 04, 2010, 12:35:29 PM
The 55gr Noslers would be a good choice as they have a higher bc than a lot of the 60 to 70 gr bullets.
I bought a pack of the Speer 70gr TNT (b/c .282) bullets to try out in my Remington .243, still haven't gotten to loading them yet. I don't have first have knoledge of these bullets, but i have heard some impresive results from people that have used them. The heavier bullet might be better for your twist rate.
As to the higher b/c of the lighter bullet, i've searched the Noslers 55gr Varmint BT to be at .276 b/c and Noslers 70gr Varmint BT at .310 b/c. It has allways been to my understanding that usually the heavier bullets have the higher Ballistic Coefficient.

That's usually the case but if you look at Hornady Vmax 65 gr vs the Nosler 55 gr, the Nosler 55gr has a higher BC, also higher than the 60 gr Sierra, I didn't say the Nosler 55 gr had a higher BC than ALL the 60 to 70 gr bullets, just a lot of them. :chuckle:
By the way welcome to the site!!!

Nosler SAYS it has a higher BC, but sometimes the bullet companies exagerate, or outright lie about their bullets' BC's.
I'm not saying it isn't what they say it is, but just that you can't always believe the numbers they provide.
