Is anyone here using the Barnes 62gr .243 Varmint Grenade? How do
you like them? Accuracy? What OAL do ya end up with?

Upon opening the box I was surprised at the length (darned near an
inch)!! There is so much bearing surface that the recommendation on
the box states the need for 1:10 or tighter twist. Have .204's and
.224's which are very short........NOT THESE!!

I'm interested as in this as well. I just picked up a box of 62gr for my 243 model 788 to work up.

The Barnes #4 manual listed the R19 as the most accutate load using 45gr to start to 50 max with F210 primers. I was planning on using vargent but my store was out.

Thanks, Tim.

Does the Barnes #4 Manual give an OAL for the
62gr V.G.?

I haven't seen Varget on a store shelf for quite
some time. Once in awhile I come across it on line,
but then there's the HazMat fee.

Gonna give RL17 as well as RL19 a try. Would
like to know where to start as far as OAL??
