Anyone out there reload those 115gr Round nose bullets in their .243. I bought some a while back but haven't reloaded them yet and don't have any data yet.

Yeah, I did. They shot okay. Accuracy was typical Barnes. Did not have an opportunity to use them on game, even tho I carried them afield.

IMR 4831, RL 19, H 1000 will all work well.

I don't know about round-noses, but could not stabilize 117 VLD in a 6mm-284 with ex-.243 varmint barrel.

Fred Barnes and I made up a 6m/m X.270 Imp. just to shoot his original 115 gr. bullet. It had good hunting accuracy and was a fantaasstic deer killer if the hunter did his part.I shot only 2 varmints with it that I remember. Not much left to eat.
