223--243 wssm

Is any one reloading either of these cartriges? would like to xchange info with
someone. I have both and have done some work up on the 243 but have not fired the 223 yet.
I have rebarreled both of my wssm guns with 26" Pacnor barrels. have gotten fairly good results with 4350 powder,
Varget not as good. Will be trying 380 this week if weather permits

Hi There Supershort,

I also have both the .223 and .243 WSSM. I have reloaded several hundred rounds of both and found that IMR-4064 works best in the .223 and both IMR-4064 and IMR-4831 both work very well in the .243. I'm getting 3 shot groups of .5" at 100 yards from both rifles.

BTW, both rifles are Browning A-Bolts with 20" barrels.
