My daughter drew a youth (she's 12) desert sheep tag here in our home state of New Mexico. I bought a Browning A-Bolt chambered for this round several years ago when the short mag craze was going on. I think this will be the perfect round for her, light recoil, pretty good punch. I was able to get my hands on some IMR 4350 and some RL 17, I want to shoot the Barnes TTSX in 80 grains or the Berger 95gr VLD, does anyone have a good load for either of those bullets and powder?

ABQHUNTER,

There is a website called thediyHunter.com and the guy gives some loads for 243 WSSM. Hope this helps.

Try reloadersnest for an idea of what different powder/bullet combos will do.
