.243 8 twist load ideas please?

Don't sleep on slower powders, like H1000. I'm getting 2950fps out of a 24" barrel, with what is essentially the starting load, shooting a 105gr. Has great case fill, as you can't get enough in the case to reach pressure issues (IME). It's easier on barrel life as well.

I started at 46.0gr and worked up from there to a compressed load. A little more veocity would be nice, but 46gr shoot the best, so I ran with it.

Recoil impulse of H1000 compared to h4350 seems to be a fair amount more pleasant as a bonus.

Been shooting 8 twist 243 for a long time. 4 barrels down and H1000 is the ticket for the 105 class bullets.

Groups like this are the norm:
