Ramshot Hunter 46.9 gn-52.1 gn for hornady 58g v-max in 243 ?

46.9gn-52.1gn is their data for 58g v-max, hence the question of looking a bit too full ?

Thanks Steve.

Having only loaded 223 with the n120 data you gave me there is plenty of space left, then with this new 243 load there hardly any room left for the bullet , suppose i'm just not used to seeing it like this.

Looking on the Hawke trajectory data from 3700-3750 fps and zeroed 1" high at 100 yds with Drone Pro height being 2.6" i still have a point blank kill zone of 280-290 yds still keeping in inside 2", so not that important to screw the nuts off it.

i would stick to 50 gn dave if its accurate enough....how long is your barrel?

Standard 20", it looks like ill loose 70 fps per gn, but i should still have enough to do 280 yds.
I do understand i will loose some fps because the barrel is say 26", but i do need the rifle for walking and shooting from the vehicle.

50 gns with your barrel dave should be around 3415 fps on standard seating depth....52gns will give you 3567 fps but watch the pressure as you will be on the limit etc

[warbucks]

52.1 gn on a 24" barrel is suppose to do 3958 fps.
