.243 non toxic ammo

[farrieral]

Good to know, I’m running a 22” barrel as well.

Shot a good few deer with them now (mainly fallow and reds) since settling on that load, nothings gone further than usual (DRT or 10/15 yards) and every bullet has exited

Sako blades were quite frankly pathetic in my 243

Homeloaded Barnes 80gr ttsx are very effective

What powder you use and recommend for reloading the Barnes 80gr TTSX?

Sako powered Blade were the only one of 4-5 factory rounds that worked in my Franchi horizon. Used federal coppers, Nosler and hornady and none seemed to hold a group but the blades. Unsure if this is cause franchi are owned by benelli who are owned by Beretta who owns sako/tikka as well? But Sako bullets have always grouped better in the rifle compared to other brands. Might just be bias though?

I use tTSX 80 grain and LRX 95 grain both Barnes. my .243 is 1-8 twist . The old 1-10 .243win twist will maybe struggle some with copper , i think the 95 might not work at all.

No need to go higher than 80gr which will work fine in any 1:10”

You will always get more out of homeloading but there are plenty of factory options

Give us a bell
Off the top of my head we have 6 or 7 factory options
