.243 95gr Hornady SST Load?

Anyone used this bullet with Varget or IMR4895 powder in a 243??
Any load data?

Thanks,
ElKabong

While you can load the .243 Win and 95 to 100 gr bullets with IMR-4895 or Varget, I usually got better velocity and accuracy with slower burning powders such as IMR-4350, H-4831 and H-450. You might also want to try Accurate Magpro, Reloder 22 or IMR-7828 with the heavier bullets in the .243/6mm.

Bullets are pretty worthless. All they do is hang around waiting to get loaded.

ElKabong, I haven't tried the powders you mentioned but H-4350 gives me excellent velocity and tight groups out of my 788 carbine w/ the 95 gr. SST's. Used them to take 5 deer last year with that load.
