New Stealth 243 WSSM load & Bullet recomendation.
I bought a New Stealth last night for about 1/2 price in 243WSSM. I couldn’t turn it down I have been looking at the same rifle since 2005, They had the price all the way up to $900.00 a year ago it dropped to $700.00 a friend seen it at $600.00 a few months ago. I looked at it last night it was $539.74 so I told them I would buy it. The sales man ran it up and said it would be $516.38 including sales tax. I thought he had made a mistake, but he said there was a 10% discount. When I got home I looked through all my reloading manuals there is nothing listed for any of the WSSM cartridges. According to Winchester's web site it has a 1 in 10" twist. Your help will be appreciated.

BTW I hope to use it on a Speed Goat some day.

You've done well and you will be astounded at the capability of the cartridge!

There's plenty of reloading info out there.

I load the 70 gr bullet, 90, 95 all with W760 and have never looked back. 49gr max with the 70, 44.5 with the 90, 44 with the 95. Work up slow!

sorry, I just saw you wanted bullet recommendations.

I get great accuracy from 70 Nosler Bt's for coyotes.

I just worked up a load for the Berger 95 gr VLD. Great at longer ranges.............

Thanks for your answers. After looking at the Noslers Website recommended load data what powder would work best with a 70 grain bullet. I am more interested in powder that is not so hot as to give me grief causing a sticky bolt. And no I don't believe in pushing the recommended top load.

This happened to me about 10 years ago.
I "had" a 243 Remington Varmint rifle and loaded some H335 recommend in the Nosler Book.
I pulled the trigger pieces of brass shot back through the bolt hit me in the face.
When I tried to open the bolt I had to pound the heck out of it.
Needless to say that ended my P-Dog shooting that day.
