Hey all,
I have been handloading for several 243 rifles for many years. I use the 58 grain Hornady Vmax bullets for coyote hunting and they are extremely accurate in my rifle which has a 1/9 twist rate.
I am running out of my stash of IMR 4064 (my preferred 243 powder) but I recently got a bunch of Varget powder.
Can anyone who has loaded this bullet and this powder give me an idea on what their Pet Load is? I have loaded Varget powder with this bullet before but I lost my load data book. I'm thinking I was loading 43.5 gr?
I know, I know.... start from the bottom and work up, looking for pressure signs..... Unfortunately, I don't have close access to a range to try 10 different loads, so I'm looking to load them once and call it good.
Thanks in Advance!
