Nodak that H-4831 sc is some great powder in your .243!!!! That is what I use with a 95 grain nolser bal tip and it makes tiny groups and SD on this stuff is great!!!!!!

coyotelatrans, I Have A Rem model-7 (short carbine barrel) in 243 that doesn't shoot 100 gr factory bullet's worth A crap!(were talking 6 inch group's at 100yd's, bad) My plan is to work up A load with H-4831 sc, or H-380, pushing an 85gr hollow point Seirra gameking! hoping one of the powder's, or the lighter bullet will help the grouping,hopefully!
the H-4831 sc gives me very good group's in my rem 700 in 270, with 130gr seirra prohunter bullets!

100 gr bullets out of a .243 not shooting ??????????????? you sure you do not have something else wrong. that is a staple for that caliber.

sorry I haven't been on for A while, and didn't reply sooner! I just assumed the100gr bullet's were too heavy for such A short barrel! I was using 100 gr factory ammo (no particular brand, whatever was cheap at the time!), then I started re loading and i'm now using Seirra 85gr BTHP with 37.4gr of Varget CCI large rifle primer's, and remington brass, found the lands on my rifle & seated 20 thousandths from the land's! Now, I get less than one inch groups! Maybe something with the powder or the seating had some thing to do with it! If there are any other reasons I would appreciate A reply to this! Thank's

seating depth can have a huge effect on accuracy

I came up with this recipe for A coyote load in my 22-250! here it is 33.2gr of Viht N135, with Seirra 55gr BTHP, with rem 7 1/2 large rifle primer's and Rem brass! according to the reloading manual it should be turning at 3550fps! (I don't have A chrono! YET:lol: ! ) I am getting less than half inch groups (Im sure this load would group tighter, if the shooter would do his part !)! This load Hasn't taken A coyote as of Yet, so I can't say if Its fur friendly or not but from what I've read it should anchor the coyote and not cause much damage!

for a .243???

OOP's! that was for the 22-250! Apparently my genuiseness no's no bounds!

the length of your barrel will have little effect on the weight of bullet you are shooting. the twist rate of the barrel is what gives a bullet its gyroscopic stabilty. the barrel has more effect on the velocity of the bullets. other considerations as well but that is the main difference.
