    Loads for 243


    Could you all make some recommendations for powders for a 243? I just got a new rifle and know the 243 is somewhat of a barrel burner and would like to prolong the life as much as possible. There are quite a number of different weight bullets you can use too but I am looking for a combination as easy on the barrel as possible.

    Unlike other companies, you don't have to pay to see their load data - https://www.nosler.com/load-data/cal...idge-data.html

    What bullet are you looking to use? I prefer 100 grain bullet weight in the.243.

    With Re-22 going the way of the dodo. I’m going to start load development again.

    Some guys will break out and start working up their own loads. Then they never ask others for their loads.
    I am sorry, I may have mispoke.
