.243 WSSm shooting the 115 grain Berger

[TooTall]

Does anybody have a load for this caliber shooting a 115 Berger? I have a Winchester Model 70 Stealth. It shoots the 95 grain factory good, but I want to extend the range a little.

Abandon the idea!!!

The 115's require a fast twist of 1 twist in 7.5"s.The twist in your rifle is a 1 twist in 10"s.So it won't stabilize the 115's.

If you are lucky the 105 Amax might work but a better choice would be 100 grain bullets and less.

How about the 95 grain?
It likes the factory rounds.

Yes standard 95 grainers but the 95 grain VLD's might not work either.

My friend uses 95 grain flat base BIB's.The 87 grain Vmax worked good in mine.
