Reloading advise for 58g v-max in 243

Apologies, didn't mean it to come across that way.

That is surprising! I'll now climb back into the hole from once I came

you didn't come across any way buddy!!

Point is they'll all drift and the only way to cut that down and still have an explosive bullet is to run silly fast, 60 gr+ of powder barrel burners, reading wind in daylight is hard enough with all the visual clues, at night its harder - just like ranging!

Using 43.5gr N140 and 58 vmax , I'm getting 1 hole groups at 100yds, very accurate in my Tikka.

Any idea roughly what speed they will be doing, or point blank range on a 4" kill zone, i am wanting about 300 yds if possible.

RS60 works really well with lighter bullets, I got best accuracy with 55gr Varmaggeddons at 4130fps.

I believe Amir runs H4895 under his 55gr Nosler BT's.

Bye bye barrel!!

Doesn't matter if you are only foxing, you will still kill a lot of foxes before a rebarrel is needed.

Quite a different story if you are punching holes in paper.

Yes, yes it is, the barrel is a slow twist and 27.5" long.

By the time I've killed a barrel on that rifle it's paid for itself many times over.

Exactly, it'll last a few years now I've another dedicated NV rig.
