243 Reloading Setup

@Cubby, I didn’t say it’s unusable nor is it imprecise. It is not durable…fact. I fill my freezers too…not using Hornady brass…or bullets for that matter.

Me too but most of my hunting is out of state nowadays, so I haven't dabbled much with copper. My 3-4 attempts with copper bullets over the last 15 years has been frustrating.

I think was 2011 I got some decent groups with Hornady's GMX. I see they have a new one now. My 308 at the time liked them all sub moa at 100. Killed a cow bison with it ,worked like a champ.

Since you are just starting out, I don't think you would go wrong by just getting a set of Lee Reloading dies. They are cheap and don't have the bells and whistles of micrometer seating adjustment, but they just plain work. But if you plan on getting into the reloading hobby and running with it, then I would say get a decent set of redding dies.

My 243 with 85-100gr pills is fond of imr-4350. Shooters World, before they became expensive, provided excellent results with Long Rifle and Precision rifle.
