.243 Win Load Data Needed

[Ky Larry]

Could someone with a Hornady reloading manual give me load data for a .243 Win using 87gr Hornady S.P. bullet and IMR-4064 powder? Also for IMR-4350 powder. Pet loads using other powder with this bullet would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hornady #6 shows IMR-4064 + 87 grain SP #2440 as:
Seat = 2.640" OAL.

29.7 grains Start
37.1 grains MAX.

They don't list IMR-4350.

They do list H-4350.
39.8 Start.
43.4 MAX.

Thanks RC.

If you have time, take a look at Alliant's offering. Rel-17 and the new 2000MR show great promise for the 243.

I've had better results with slower powders in 243, such as IMR 4831 and Hybrid 100v, but YMMV.

I also like slower powders in .243 like IMR-4350 but I don't have any at this time. About all I have in rifle powder is AA-2460, H-335, IMR-4320, and TAC. Funds are a little tight at the moment. Next payday I'm going to try Re-17. IMR-4064 shoots great in my .30-06 with 165gr bullets and I'm off work tommorow so thought I'd give -4064 a try. Thanks to all for your help and advise.

The Hodgdon website has tons of data for all the rifle and pistol calibers as well as shotgun. Excellent pressure tested data.
