    Winchester Model 70 243 - What factory ammo does yours like?

    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.

    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.

    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 etc

    Federal Blue box 80 grain always seems to shoot ok.
