If Santa is on time my new .243 WSSM upper will be here before Christmas and I am looking for any "pet loads" that you can share!
I have all of the published data but if anyone has any info that they would like to share I would certainly appreciate it.
This will be a coyote rifle so I doubt that I will shoot anything over 90 grain.

Thanks

Mike with d-tech swears by 40.5 of varget rem 9 1/2 primers with a 85 sierra hpbt and the nosler 85 partition. I have no pictures or velocity but it shot better then the groups above.
 
Thanks for the replies all! Funny that no one shot any 55,58, 60,or 65 grain bullets. It looks like everyone agrees on a middle of the road bullet weight.
I cant wait to get to burning some powder!!
