:-D When last i visited I was working on some loads for my .243 with bullets from the Bull Shop. Well I had farly good results with 12.0 of Alliant 2400 last March so I loaded 20 with OAL of 2.560 Fed GM 215's and light taper crimp and the photo shows the resultshttp://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/charlie45/june06033.jpg
these were fired @ 100 yards 78 deg. light south west wind 5 mph or less. I first shot the 5 shot group then wiped the bore and then shot 3, 5 shot groups at the same target. The rifle is a 24"bull barrel adams & benette from Midway on a Mauser action. Vertical stringing is caused (I believe) by lack of action bedding.
This is a very light load that anyone can have fun with. I can't advise speed but have no doubt it would do in a wood chuck with out any probvlems @ 100 yards. And noise leval not much more then a 22 lr.
Now I just have to try 200 yds.
