243 and H1000

[slatebuilder]

Has anyone fooled with H1000 in a 243 Winchester? Specifically with 100 grain Hornady interlocks.

 

[Addicting]

No but RL26 is amazing in it. I would think that h1000 wouldn’t be that far behind it.

Never tried H1000. I use RL16 in my 243 with 80 and 90 grain bullets. With the 80 grain Shock Hammers, it's a max load shooting 3380 fps. I was shooting the 90 ELDX but they've been blowing too big of a hole in the coyotes.

How have the shock hammers been on coyotes?

First year shooting them so unfortunately haven't gotten to send one in yet. Hopefully soon!

Let me know how they do

I used h1000 under 105gr berger hybrids, and 105gr Amax in .243. Shot really well.

If I remember correctly I was getting a little under 3100fps. After about 1800 rounds that started dropping quickly and while it still shot well I rebarreled. If I hadn't stumbled upon a bunch of inexpensive 6 creed factory ammo I would probably go with the .243 again for my next tube and work up a load with H1000 again.

Yes i have my gun did not like it, H4350 works for me !!!

 

[Farmerj]

Accurate 4350 is a good option and a bit of a cost savings too.

As Addicting said, RL26!
I've used RL26 with 100gr Sierra SPBT GameKings & 105gr Hornady Match.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m sitting on some H1000 and interlocks both for other loads/rifles. Thought maybe I’d try it with 243s.

RL powders are good to have on hand. When I can find them I’ll get some.

 

[Farmerj]

I’ve been having good luck going to the other extreme of the burn charts for powders.

Have had good luck with RL 17 in my son's .243 and 80 grain TTSX bullets.

I've also been using RL 17 in 243.

IMR4831 is my go to for 100 gr .243.

My 243 ruger and 700 bdl both love varget and imr3031

I use Retumbo in my 243 loads. 105 VLD at 2940.

47 grains of H1000 and a 100 grain interlock shot <1” at 100 in 2 different rifles. I need to shoot it at 200 and 300 but I think it is a going be a winner.

I got a jug of RL-26 by mistake last year, realised what I'd done and no idea what I'd use it for. No listing for in in my Hornady book, 9th edition.

It works in a ton of cartridges with a heavy for caliber bullet. Google will get you started in load data, it’s been tried in just about everything.

I ran it in a 280ai, 300 Sherman, 7 Mag, 6.5 Creedmoor, 260ai, & 243. All with excellent results about 50-100 fps faster.
