Hunting with the .243 Winchester- stepping down in Caliber and size

[micus]

Thanks guys for the info. I have IMR and H 4350 on hand and a box of E tips. Ill grab some PT's and SST's here on my next day off and spend some time developing some loads.

It should be a sweet little rig to throw on the pack!

I know loads almost always need to be developed for a particular rifle, but is there any consensus what is working well for guys as far as seating depth of the lands/COAL and powder charges (h4350) is concerned?

I usually start with NOSLER's recommended "most accurate" load and go from there.

thanks!
