what .243 powder?

[keith jones]

I am needing some powder local store has some imr4064, and some other 1pound jugs. I plan on shooting 95gr sst, and 87grtsx. What powders are you hunters using with these bullets. This will be hunting rifle only.

H4350
Win Brass
Fed 210M
Do a ladder test for your rifle for best load results.

It might be in your best interest to visit the sticky thread "What the pros use" located in the Bolt Action section. All of the comp guys rely on very consistent powders for their 6mm, 6.5mm, or other similar variant.

I use H4831SC in my 243 with the 105 Amax and it is very consistent and accurate.

This is going to sound a little stupid but I use H1000 with 105 amaxs and get about 3000 FPS with it. 45.5 grains pretty much fills the case up and it has proven to be a pretty damn good load for the last 1200 rounds.

Some Viht N160 or N165 works well.

All these spit my loads sub moa @ 100 & a tad under moa to 400 yds in my 22" savage sporter.
The bullets I only use are the 65gvma/80g ttsx/80g speer/90g partition & 95g nosler HBT

40.2gr IMR 4350
Sierra 85gr BTHP GK
mixed brass
WLR primer

This load works really well out of my late Ruger M77 (tang safety) with sporter barrel.

I use reloader 17, as with my other rifle rounds, works great.

I'll be the odd man out here, for bullets in this weight range; I use IMR 3031

Due to current market conditions, what the ideal powder is versus what is available may not align. IMR 4064 will work for the weight you asked about, but H4350 would be my preferred powder, if available.

The Hodgdon's website is a great reference on rifle powders - http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp
