243 Win, 105 Hybrids and RL17

[mike4aera]

Anyone have experience/knowledge with 243 Win, Savage 12 LRP, 26 inch barrel, 1/9.25 twist. Load is Berger 105 Hybrid Target, 37.0 grains RL17, Fed 210 LR primer in Starline brass. Bullet seated .005 off lands. Getting 2795 fps. It shoots 1/4 inch groups at 100 yards. Hoping for long barrel life and several reloads out of brass.

Seems like a pretty mild load.
Should last a long time for a 243.

That would seem to be a very low pressure load that will have a good chance of accomplishing both of your goals.

Reub, did you alternate 4831 with the sc? Any difference?
