Load Data for 243 win

LostTexan · April 5, 2010, 09:46 PM

I am fairly new to reloading. I'll tell you what I have. Bullet - speer 100 gr BTSP, Powder - Reloder 19, Primer - Fed 210, Casings - mixed R-P, Win, Frontier. I have the data from Alliant Powder. Just wanted to get some input before I start. The rifle is a New England Firearms single shot Handi Rifle. Just looking for a consistant reliable load. Thanks

Welcome, Tex. There is no "One size fits all" load.Get reloading data from several manuals and the web sites of the component manufacturers. Start at the smallest listed powder load and work up in 1/2 grain increments. Watch for excessive pressure signs as you go up. Fire 3 groups of 5 rounds each. Most importantly, read and understand your manual step by step instructions. Also, keep good records. Good luck.
