Guys:

I don't have a Sierra manusl and the tech line is impossible to get through, so.....

I need a recipe for the 85 gr HP boat tail , product # 1530, in .243.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Try either 38gr of Varget or 43gr of IMR-4350. Both work well in mine. I use W-W neck sized brass and CCI-200 primers.

ah my favorite bullet - 44 gr H4350 for varmints. 41.5 gr of H4350 is the all time accuracy load. i've used H414 and H380 also. if the gun doesn't shoot well with bullet, it just ain't agonna shoot.

Sierra Lists IMR 4064 38gr as hunting load. This is a max load.
max loads.
imr 4895 37.8
r-15 38.7
imr 4350 42.2
r-19 47.2
imr 4831 44.5
h 4831 45.3

I have had good luck with both 4831s

Thanks for the input guys. You've been very helpful.

Best,

Bob

43 grains acc 4350 Worked great in Ruger Varmint. roger
