Thats on the ADI site.
Thanks mate yep that's a good on I'm more after a pill info
.244/6mm Remington
If you scroll down a bit there is a table of projectiles and BC and MV although it doesnt have the amount of powder used.
Don't believe everything you read on that sight Toby:)
Try the hodgedon powders site, they normally have loads for barnes pills.
People seem to hate that guy hahaQuote:

In close I would go 85 grn TTSX or TSX based on my experience with them. The 100 grn Hornady Interlock is a good reliable one too.
I load 2209 using targex pills in my 243 havnt lost a animal yet.
isnt there a 6mm 86g that is ment to punch above its weight? interlock or such?
this 1 i think it is 6mm .243 87 gr BTHP
Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Bullets :: Rifle :: Choose by Caliber :: .243 6mm :: 6mm .243 87 gr BTHP
This might be helpful if you decide to use Barnes TTSX 80 or 85 grn...

BRADS I plan to run a 95g Partition in my 243AI, which will be almost the twin of the 6mm Rem (but look sexier). Am still waiting to get it back but it looks like it will be the business. Kinda an old school version of the Barnes
Mate don't try and compare a 6mm and poh for three even with ai In there it's still lame:PQuote:

I've shot reds, fallow and Tahr with them. 25 yds to 520.Quote:
