243 jinx broken at last!

Hooray!!! My 1985 production 110 is proving to be consistent and accurate. The first load I tried is a winner and will be in the magazine for a walk in the woods. A 95 grain Hornady SST over 44 grains of H4831 gives 100 yard 3 rounders averaging an inch at 100. Did shoot a half incher today though. Groups overlap very nicely, which is equal in importance with accuracy to me. I'd rather have a 2 inch group day in day out that hits the same point of aim, than a 1 incher that hits different points each time you go out.
Needless to say, I am relieved. Oh. The Simmons 3x9 ( model 1010, Japanese production) is a great little scope. The good luck continues...

Congrats!

Thank you Sir. Tomorrow is the deer opener here in Pennsylvania. I'm hoping a tasty critter gives me a chance to see for myself what a 243 can do.
Fine little rifle. Glad I took the chance

If a 243win does not shoot well with H-4831 powder then it's toast.

Toasted a doe on Monday! The 243 does good work. I agree about H4831. Great powder! My old Savage 270 loved it. Doesn't seem to heat the barrel up too badly. Always a plus with a small bore high velocity round
