    95grn SST for deer/antelope need load data (.243)


    Looking at the 95grn SST for a deer/antelope round. Anyone have experience with this bullet?

    Have H4831 IMR4064 and IMR 4350.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the tip on the Noslers, guess I wasn't clear in the first post but I already have the Hornadys. Any suggestions?

    Cool thanks. How does the H4350 compare to IMR 4350? Can I use the same charges?

    They are similar but different enough that hodgen shows different loads for them. Go to the Hodgen site and look up your bullet loading data they will show both if you select "all" when choosing powder man..

    Got up to the range the other day was pretty dissapointed with the accuracy of the 95 SSTs. Groups were from .5 with H4831 to almost 2" with the IMR4064. I'll try to fine tune a little but may be trying those Nosler 90s sooner than I thought.

    Just tried some IMR 4350 and it did a lot better, kept them at or under .5 @ 100.

    This gun has been a great shooter but pretty picky. Shoots the 58 grn Vmax very well, wouldnt shoot 70 or 75s, likes the 87grn Sierras and 100 grain RNs.

    I would have used the 100grn RNs but where we hunt you take a lot of long shots and wanted the traj of the lighter bullet and the bt.

    I'll play with it a little but looks like 41grns of IMR 4350 should do it.

    Thanks for the help, Matt.
