Has any one on here reloaded for an XS7 in .243? I think I want to stick with 100 gr. bullets, but I dont have any powder yet. I am open to all recomendations as to bullet and powder combinations. I just bought a case of 1000 Winchester primers and I have a bunch of brass. So if anybody has a load that they would like to share it would be apreciated.

Every barrel has it's sweet spot, two rifles of the same make and model will shoot different with the same load. Pick a bullet that is appropriate for the hunting you'll be doing. Then out of your loading manual pick a powder that will work for you, if your going to be doing a lot of paper punching and varmint hunting and going to be using a powder measure for volume loading I'd look at a short cut or ball powder. If your going to be weighing all your loads then anything works. My 243 is used for LR pred hunting and I weigh every charge and have had excellent results with 4064. Start low and work up a load that works for your rifle.
I have one rule that I adhere to NEVER use a load off the internet unless you can back it up in a loading manual.

Excellent advice.
