243 and Rel 19?

[William Suter]

Thinking of trying Rel 19 and a 70 grain BlitzKing in my 243 No.1 Ruger. Have any of you used Rel 19 in a 243?

 

[Rhett Steele]

I did, don't remember velocities but the groups weren't as good as imr4895 or h4895.

 

[William Suter]

Sierra showed it having good velocity (3400 fps) and I have a pound taking up space on the shelf. Thought I might just give it a try. Nothing to loose.

I never had any luck with Rel 19, tried it with 95 gr SST and 87 gr Vmax. You exactly right, never know until you try.

Had good luck with RE19 in the 260 with 120 and the 140gr Noslers

I have used a lot of Rl19 in my 243's with Sierra 75HP's, very good results, same with my 6mm's.

Never tried it in my 243s, but that is what I use in my pet load for my 270 Win with a 140 Nosler Accubond

Max load with imr 4064 and 70 grain sierra matchking was a tack driver in my kids old remington 700 243.

I am using h322 with the 70s unbelievable groups but velocity is around 2900.
