Thanks Rcamuglia I had the chance to get a 243wssm from the same fellow that I got the 223wssm,may still trade for it. That web site is just the ticket. BB2

My son has had a Browning in 223wssm since 2006, and uses it as a coyote rifle. He uses 60gr Vmax and now 60gr Nosler Btips. IMR4350, RL19, H4831, N165, have been tried.
If you go to the powder companies website, you can get load info there.

The 60gr Vmax, pushed to just over 3700fps, made some tremendous holes, and some splash wounds, out to 300yds. I'm expecting the Nosler Btip to hold together better.
