yep alot of great newer rounds but .243 is a great round.

Still love the .243, killed many deer with it.

I’ll have to tinker with different powders and charges, I’ve had pretty good luck so far but every gun is different.

all 3 of mine seem to like the 143eld x and 41.5 gr of h4350 the best. That seems to be my dialed load for mine so far

Here’s one you don’t see often

H4350 is a good powder, I have 4 different powers on the shelf just for the 6.5 and 4350 is one of them I also was going to try some N540 or N555 as well.

I had good luck with rl16 and thought n540 was a little hot. Have not tried the n550.

I listed both viht powders because I couldn’t remember which one was which. One of them is for my 30-06. I’ve been playing with different powders since supply was crippled as a result of people voting like idiots. Lol

One of my favorite calibers, have 2 6.8SPC uppers.

I picked up 500 90gr gold dots and some AA2200 from Midway awhile back that I need to work up a load with.



Those 143s shoot great over a load of H4350 in my new Savage 110 Tactical. Wished I had listened to you and bought a 6.5 Manbun earlier.

Absolutely! I’ve got a 12.5” ARP barrel with a Dead Air can that I can reach out to 300 yards with no problem and it’s compact, light weight. Light enough that I can saddle hunt with it. The 105 grain MKZ by Cavity Back Bullets in top of AA200 is a lethal round on deer and hogs.

I’ve been fighting the urge to buy a 28 Nosler, everything for that cartridge is high and unavailable.

Yes, very interesting cartridge. Probably harder to find loading supplies for it than 6.8

Of all the deer that my kids have killed with that little Tikka T3 youth model .243, only two didn’t drop in their tracks and of those two, only one went 100 yards before dying. .243 is a phenomenal round for deer

Nice! I have 2 16"s. One ARP and the other a Stag. I really need to get a 6.8 upper for my SBR. Currently waiting on a Dead Air Nomad 30. It's been in jail since July.

High shoulder shot will do the trick every time.

The 6.8 spc is going to be one of the next ones I get. I have been a fan of the 6.5 Grendel for a while now. A friend has been playing with the 6.8 and some loads he worked up with the 90gr and aa2200 were impressive. I think he is around 28gr with the 2200 powder and a barrel twist of 1:11

I think those 90gr Gold Dots are probably the most highly regarded projectile in the 6.8 community. That’s the next one that I’m going to work up a load for. Wouldn’t mind trying the 110gr Accubonds as well.

Good luck with 6.8, I think you’ll enjoy it

It’s a Weaver Nighthawk. Chambered in 9mm. Not very many made but has everything that makes the anti gunners cry. Threaded barrel, collapsible stock, mag fed with forward and rear pistol grips. It’s surprisingly accurate for what it is. My father traded a shotgun for it back in the eighties and we passed it back and forth for a couple decades. Anytime one of us would get a big pile of 9 this would help bring it down. An internet search usually brings up a picture of Clint Eastwood standing with one. It’s not a very practical weapon but is very fun to shoot.

I just ordered a CMMG Banshee in 10mm. Hope to pick it up later this week!

I can appreciate a 10mm. My nightstand gun is a Glock 40

Nice! I love sub-guns ... especially sub-guns with cans!

 

[Glock21user]

My XYL knows how much I love blackpowder and everything old so she got this set for me.
.58 cal double rifle set with 20ga double shotgun set.
It is too bad my terrible boating accident sent the Pedersoli set to the bottom of Lake Superior..
