Hi guys, been lurking on the PM forums for a while but just signed up. In looking for a good cross over bullet for deer & doggies I came across the 80 gr Hornady GMX, thought it should work fine for both and bought a box. Now I'm looking for load info and can't really find anything specific to the 80s as far as powders or charge weights...wondering if anyone else out there has tried these bullets and what the resuts were and what the loads were. They are going out of a 700 vls in .243 win. I have used the search function and not found anything on the 80s specificly. Oh and I won't hold any one liable for quoting powder charges, I'm not dumb enough to start where anyone ended.
I'm also wondering what the 243 reloaders are doing that are shooting the 55 gr, i've played around a bit with them and the little buggers are so short I cant load them out enough to get them anywere close to the lands. For now I've just been letting them jump and they work ok but I'm just wondering what everyone else does with these.
I have to say this site is gold to anyone hunting or shooting anything. Thanks for the help.
