I've got a .243!

Wait, WHAT? @Bob Nelson 35Whelen had a set of reloading dies for 243? No way, he must have been drunk or something. No way @Bob Nelson 35Whelen would have anything with 243 in his shop, let alone his hands touch it. No way! The world is ending! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

On a serious note, good deal on your new rifle and components. I still own the first centerfire rifle I bought when I was 19 years old, it's a Rem 700 ADL, in 243. I killed a lot deer with that rifle, using the old Sierra 100 grs GameKings. I also reloaded using the old Lee Loader, and it produced accurate enough ammo for the hunting conditions I dealt with in South Florida. Good luck to ya!
I'm still reloading .243 with a Lee Loader Kit...I just FL size the brass every so often and anneal it when the mood strikes.

I feel you there... @Bob Nelson 35Whelen had .243 gear...they just don't make closet doors like they used to...

@PARA45
I had the dies so I could load PROPER hunting bullets for my mates instead of 87gn VMAX.
95gn VMAX made a BIG difference in on game performance.

Sure, sure, sure!!!!! You are a "In the closet" 243 lover. You've been putting up this mask making us believe you are one tough hombre, when you in reality like the little mouse killer 243. LMAO!!!!!

He's a masked and closeted .243 lover! Oh no !!!:K Flowers::K Whipping: Went in looking for a coat and came back scarred for life.:eek: The Profoundly Limited Acceptable Spectrum Of Ballistics (PLASOB) will never be sane...ahem...the same!!!:E Lol:
 
I’m mighty proud of you, Russ. The .243 Winchester is an absolute beauty for muntjac deer, roe deer and up to impala sized African plains game.

I always knew that old Bobby secretly loved the .243 Winchester, underneath all that anti-.243 bravado.

@Hunter Habib
The only reason I had 243 dies is my mates didn't reload and I offered to do it for them.
At least I could control the projectile they used on game and match the bullet to the game.
The 95gn SST looked the same as thier useless 87gn V Max but worked better on game. When I stopped reloading for them they went back to the V Max and the wounding rate went up.
At least @Badboymelvin will use proper bullets.
I STILL DON'T LIKE THE 243 BUT THATS ME.
Bob

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
