I use Lovex, because that's what my man has a pretty regular supply of, and have managed minute of fart groupings with my .243 using SO60, SO62 and SO71. SO60 with 55 sierras were trundling out at 3820 fps.
I understand where your coming from Elliott, but im on the line of thought's by Temo, and Boydy, fast n flat, i am talking about all these's shots with n/v, don't really want to be trying to work out hold over, if on the odd occasion the fox is around 300 ish yds and i cannot got the range down then it a guess allowance for wind, or if conditions are just too bad the shot will be left ---------its the same line of idea as the 22-250 with 50g bullets ie fast n flat ---------if the idea doesn't work after a good trial period, at least with 243 i have the option to use heavier bullets unlike the 22-250?

Thanks for looking
What works for some doesn't for others this is what I load for my .243 a 70grn Blizking bullet with 40grns of ramshot big game powder behind it as we no some guns like different bullets weights the Op might be better waiting until he gets a gun and try it first to make sure it will shoot that weight of bullet I have been down that same route buying boxes of bullets before I had tried them allot of time and powder used good fun but very frustrating at times

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