Is H380 a good powder?
When a 38.0 grain charge behind a 52 grain bullet gave one hole groups from his 22-caliber wildcat (now called the 22-250), he appropriately named the powder H380. H380 is also a superb performer in the 220 Swift, 243, 257 Roberts and other fine varmint cartridges.
What is Hodgdon H380 powder used for?
Hodgdon H380 was put into production for use in the 22-250 Remington, but is also a fantastic performer in the 220 Swift, 243, 257 Roberts and other fine varmint cartridges. Hodgdon H380 powder burns extremely clean when at the appropriate pressure, but be careful as it will get dirtier with lighter loads.
What is the best load for 243?
Sierra’s recommended Hunting Load for its 100gr soft-point FB and BT bullets is 36.2gr IMR 4064 at 2900 fps. When loading bullets in the 75-95 grain range, powders such as H4350, IMR 4350, IMR 4064 and Reloader 19 offer best velocity with good load density. Many long-range varminters recommend H414 with the 87gr V-Max.

Are Winchester 296 and H110 the same?
H110 and 296 come off the same line and the only difference is the label on the bottles they go into. You are correct, your fellow club member is wrong. They are both ball powders and are identical in every respect.
Is there H380 powder for the 243 Win?
I have two cans of H380, but in my opinion there are better powders available for the 243. H380 can be temp sensitive and is dirty in the barrel. I would look to powders that are not sensitive to temperatures.
What kind of bullet does a 243 Win use?
My favorite general purpose .243 load uses a Hornady 87 grain BTHP bullet in front of a maximum load of 37.1 grains of IMR 4064 powder for a MV of 3100 fps. Hornady technicians developed this load in Hornady cases using Federal 210 primers.
When did the Winchester 243 handloader come out?
This coyote was taken with a Ruger No. 1 .243 Winchester. Temperature was recorded at 24 degrees below zero. The handload contained a Hornady 87-grain V-MAX bullet. When Winchester introduced the .243 Winchester in 1955, it quickly became a best-selling sporting cartridge.
Is the Savage 243 compatible with the H380?
Yeah, I did a lot of load work with a Savage 243 and H380, using 68gr Barnes Match Burners and 95gr Sierra Matchking BTHP. I used Rem 9-1/2M primers. The combo shot pretty well. It seemed to shoot better with a cleaner bore than not. I switched to H4350 and immediately saw an improvement in groups in my rifle.
