reloading

[Westside lineman]

Had a guy tell me he loads 124 grains of powder in his 243. Just wondering if he was full of it or not

He's full of it.. Way full.

 

[ruger1800]

He's got diarrhea.

I could see a 124 grain bullet, but there's not a powder made that would fit 124 grains in a 243 case.

 

[17 squirrel]

I think a 115 grain bullet is as heavy as it gets.. I think ?

 

[Woobie]

I can't even think of a bullet over 105 grains off the top of my head.

 

[Woobie]

And as far as powder goes, we're loading in the high 30's to low 40's, depending on the bullet and powder.

Corbin DTAC's and Berger VDL's in 115 grain.

JMHO, DON'T shoot ANY of HIS reloads, in ANY of YOUR guns !!!!!

Corbin DTAC's and Berger VDL's in 115 grain.

Well there you go. I stand corrected.

118, but certainly no 124.

I put 218 grains of powder in my .50bmg loads...

It's not physically possible to stuff 124gr of powder in a .243 case.

 

[17 squirrel]

118, but certainly no 124.

Who manufactures it ?

I figured he was I hadn't been in it long but I couldn't see how it would be done.

124 grains of POWDER!?

I'm the farthest thing from an expert but even I know that's crazy. 124 grain BULLET, maybe. That's pretty big for a .243 IMHO.

I mispoke by 1/7,000 of a pound. DTAC made 117 VLD's for a time.

Believe David decided that they were too tough to get to shoot in current barrel technology, but there were some that shot em for a little while.
