Model 11LWH in .243

[shawnhu]

Was wondering if anyone has the model 11 Light Weight Hunter in .243 that has found a load that shoots great.

The LWH has a barrel shorter than most and thinner than most, making it a bit more difficult in finding a starting point.

I have one in 243 but I replaced the 20" barrel with a 22" barrel....In my opinion the LWH should have been given a 22" barrel from the gitgo. Especially in any caliber larger than 223. Go to load for me has always been 43.5gr H4831 with an 85gr Sierra HPBT. Use this load for deer and coyotes. Very accurate and effective.
