243 Winchester Favorite Loads

[dickieray]

I got myself a TC Compass, 1:10 twist, 22" barrel, 5R rifling recently. It's a new caliber for me so I'm looking for some of your favorite loads to try for: Hunying/Target plinking. I have several bullet weights 85, 90, 95, and 100 grain to try.....85's are Sierra and others are mostly Hornady (ELD, SST, GMX, Interlock).
Thanks

My Ruger American loves the 85gr Sierra Gameking hpbt over 38.5gr of Varget. Groups well under an inch and hammers deer.

Your 10 twist may not like heavier bullets. Start with the lighter ones.
My 9.25 Savage loves 87 Vmax, you may want to try that. 100s will likely be a no-go.
H4831 works great for me.

I want to try the gamekings with varget. Just need to find the brass!
