    What was your first big game rifle, and do you still have it?

    Ya with the .270 I’m thinking about staying with the 150 sst they shoot really well. But want to find a better bullet that doesn’t destroy a lot of meat for the .243. You also brought up another point I have been thinking of. Getting same brass or at least sorting the bass I have to be the same.

    I’m going to try this. Thank you so much for the information. The only person that had experience reloading in my life is no longer with me. So trying to teach myself I think I have done alright so far. Just the solid coppers threw me a loop.

    Have issues with solid copper

    Sorry when back a read it. Was confused myself. My .243 while shooting my reloads has always group really really well. Never had a group that was more than 3 inches. Even with stock ammo. But with the 80gr hornady cx bullets one group I shot was about 5-6 inches. That group was during sighting...

    Ya I can definitely see that. Not to brag about me im definitely a better shot than most people I know. Prior military had a lot of shooting practice even at long range. So with that said. What group sizes you recommend other than 3?

    The .243 is a nail driver. Everything I have shot out of it On my reloads the group wouldn’t spread more the 2-3in at 100yards.I choose the test rounds that touch or have less then a 1/2 group. But the cx one group was almost 5-6in.

    Have issues with solid copper

    The seating depth I started with was .010 off the lands. And testing powders I always do a 100 yards and same with my sight in process. My buddy has a chronograph but I usually wait until after I test to see which powder or seating depth I want to reload at. My big issue when I tested everything...

    On the .270 I was thinking that it is an older gun. But the .243 has a fast enough twisted rate to do 100gr and 105gr bullets. I’m not 100% sure what twiste rate but I believe it’s 1:8.

    Have issues with solid copper

    So loaded 9 Rounds with IMR 4831. 3 per group of powder weight. Both the .270 and .243. The erratic shooting on the .270 I thought the scope was crap but took out my 150gr sst and group where I wanted. 243 the group was just spending out. When I tested the rounds they had all the same seating...

    Ya I went back to my vmax just don’t like how they work on game. They don’t run far. I would rather have a more solid bullet for game.

    Never thought of it I’m pretty good about cleaning my guns after shooting but this time I don’t think I did. I will get the copper solvent and go from there. Thanks for the info.

    Have issues with solid copper

    I reloaded some solid coppers for my 270 and 243. When I tested the rounds had some great groups. Reloaded the powder and depth for the great groups. Then I went out to sight in the rifles. Had a lot of issues with accuracy. Any ideas?
