Is anyone loading the Hornady .243 6MM 105 GR BTHP MATCH?

[rdinak]

I see these bullets available when others or not. Has anyone had success with them in .243? I like the 105 grain Amax but they hiding among the Unicorns at the moment.

Planning to load for a .243 with 1/8 twist barrel- 26"

I might be able to help you out with the Amax's. I'm not sure how many I have. I'll pm you when I get home.

I've only reloaded about 25 but like what I got out of a stock Ruger MkII performance wise.








Sierracharlie out....

Yup. The 105 BTHP pushed by H4350 has worked very well from my 26" 8.5 twist Bartlein barrel. Try some out. They have a better BC than the AMAX and shoot great.

It's not exactly the same, but I run 140gr BTHP in my 6.5 Creedy and .260Rem over H4350 since the 140gr AMax's are also hiding amongst the unicorns. I've noticed no discernable difference between them within 600yds and didn't have to fiddle with seating depth or anything. They shoot bugholes just like the AMax's.

They've worked well for me in 6XC. Over Varget, because that's what I had on hand. Now I've got a good load with the 105's over Varget and I ran out of Varget....

I'm in the process of working up a load. They are showing decent potential with Retumbo out of a stock rem700 barrel. They also have a higher listed BC than the AMAX.

I run them out of my 6x47Lapua, I get under 1/4 MOA and run .520 B.C. on JBM. They have been great, shot them out to 1300yd.
