Just picked up a mod 70 in 243 just wondering what flavor your model 70's like to shoot? Cheers
awesome cheers mate just won a box on trade me tonight for 28$ just down the road. I was thinking about it but i only shoot 308 and now 243 so limited value savings for me in reloading but will consider it come winter.
Ive had a few 243s they all seemed to like bullets under 100gr
Used to buy 90gr sp from Belmont in Wanganui and had good success.
100gr worked well too but some 120gr Lapua I tried definitely didn't work so good.... keyholed at 50 m.
plurry awesome rifles...check it is free floating properly...seen three of them that all touched along right hand side of barrel channel...easy as to open it up a bit.... if she doesnt group flick me PM and will see if can nut it out...30ish years owning 270,I may have picked up trick or three.... ammo,try federal blue box hundy grain and winchester power point in same 100grn for deer...shoot for shoulder bone.
Awesome cheers mate will definitely give it a good going over, remember my 308 touching but it was mostly used in tight bush so wasn't worried, now comes the fun part of rings, scope ,threading etcQuote:
