Has anyone has any experience with 55 gr Ballistic Tip bullets in a 243? It is a 1 in 10 twist. Starting to experiment with this round in this caliber a bit.
My old Ruger 77 really didn't like the 55g V-max. But shot great when I move up to 70g or heavier. Could just be a Ruger thing though .
About all I've got for you!
GOD BLESS. Dean
Off hand, I don't even remember what powder or charge weight, sorry.
My 243 is a commercial FN 98 Mauser with a Douglas barrel, and it doesn't like heavy bullets - like 100gr. It shoots well with Sierra 85gr Game Kings (HP) and just loves 70gr Sierra Blitz Kings.
I tried some back a few years ago but could never get them to group better or even close to the serria 60gr. As a matter of fact I still have some of them some place around here. I think that they are just too short to get a good group. I also have a 10 twist
