i just finished my first set of reloads i only did 5 to see how they do and change what i think needs changing i am shooting a t/c prohunter 243 and used 80 gr ttsx bullets and started with 43 gr of h414 powder in no small part to recomendations from here thanks for the help and ill let you know how it works out my only real concern is my bullet seating depth but my obl is under specs and it chambers fine all ive read says its safe i just need to play with it

thanks for all the help

here is my first group of reloads ever and i have to say im pretty happy about them but im trying to get them better

this is a 3 shot group from 100yds and the shot closest to the bull was not a great trigger pull on my part as soon as i shot i know it wouldn't be great but its not bad either

nice work from what I can tell from that out of focus picture. finding a load that works is a good feeling.. I always go with a few different sets of loads to see what works in one sitting.

best of luck!

Whoa, need a better picture then that. From what I can see it looks like 2 shots in one inch?

ya the pic didn't turn out very well thats actually 3 shots the upper left hole is 2 shots and i jerked the trigger a little on the 3rd (lower right) the fact that they are almost bulls is just a side bonus
