I noticed that too, though I don't use max loads. I adjust the seating die to be a little long and allow for the shrinkage. I thought that was par for the course.

Sounds like you need a Weaver 1-3x, it's smaller than the ones in the pics - no flared bell on the front. It's the lightest one out there. Leupold and Swift make similar models. The smaller front objective means you can mount it lower. Your older eyes won't take advantage of the "light gatherin...

So, how does that work?

I thought water would just freeze and break the bottle when it got cold enough. Does the pressure lower the freezing point?

Nah, look at the legs and the brush underneath the sign.

Also, the line about Illinois and Chicago doesn't sound like government speak.

That reminds me of a lady who ran a boardinghouse I once stayed in. She mentioned in her past she had had four husbands, all deceased. So I asked her, what happened to the first husband? "He ate poison mushrooms", she replied. What about the second? "He also ate poison mushrooms"...

No -- these aren't really caliber specific issues, but they do seem to crop up with the 243 more than most Yes but more people are using 243's than most. I've heard the same thing about the 30-30, is that because of the caliber, or because so many people are using those calibers? 86'ers chart about...

Barnes recommends crimping light bullets to increase bullet start pressure. This helps accuracy. For that reason I would leave the case long and crimp as much as possible to increase start pressure. My idea is to wrap the brass around the front of the bullet. I definitely want a crimp, but am leery...

One of my projects was to try the 110 grain spire point Barnes bullet in 30-30. I was glad to see it would leave a great deal of extra powder room compared to the standard 30-30 Barnes bullet, because the crimp groove is at the rear of the bullet, most of the bullet sticks out in front. However it's...

Hmm. I just make up a dummy round with the bullet I want in it. set to the proper length.

The new ones come out the s...

Doesn't pertain to your dilemna, but how about in between - 260 Rem? Same case and .264 caliber.

If you shoot a lot, you may burn out your .243 barrel faster.

I vote for the scope, I have the Weaver 1-3x on my 336; it's the lightest scope out there. I think it's also the only one with 1x as opposed to 1.5x, if you want to go natural. I would also consider a Swift scope. I just bought a Swift for my indoor range shooting and the optics are excellent, and m...

Pertaining only to guns, I am thinking about a Savage bolt gun in 260 Remington. I bought loadbooks for 3 potential calibers, .243, 260 Rem, and 25-06.

That Barnes XPB is the same length as a 180, it stabilizes like a 180. Powder room left in the case is similar to a 180 - I use 180 load data. They act like 180's without the bullet drop.

I would get one with the Barnes 140 grain XPB bullet. I think that's Cor-bon ammo. I do make my own, but with that bullet. A little extra velocity, very accurate, and the best penetrator out there. I did take a small pig with it.
