Looking for Tikka 243 8 twist pet loads

[Tanner]

I used to shoot several 243 and 243 AI with a pretty stout load of 7828ssc. Nice thing about that powder is you really can’t get enough in the case to make too much pressure. If I recall right I was getting 3000-31000 with 105 AMaxes when they were still around. You might check that powder out.

4831sc works well with the 108s, reloader 17 is also a fan favorite.

I found 41 grains of 4350 behind a 103eldx pulled in a ten shot inch today. COL at 2.6 . Tried a few at 2.7 and it opened up ridiculously. 1:8 Tikka 22"

Just a warning, H4350 will eat up barrel life. Slower, cooler burning powders will drastically improve the life of your .243s. My friend and I are well versed in the ways of the kung243foo.

What round count differences were you seeing apples to apples?

700 to 900 with H4350 and currently at 1800 on this barrel with H1000. My friend is somewhere in the 1500 neighborhood with H1000 as well.

What has your accuracy turned into using h4350 when you've "burnt" a barrel out?

1.5 Moa or more. Gunsmith bore scoped barrels and said the throats were gone.
