Hornady 6mm 85gr Interbonds powder thoughts
 

I am currently trying to reload some Hornady 85gr interbonds for my .243, i was just wondering what powders would work good for this type of bullet. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at the hornady book?? I got it in front of me if you need info...

Yeah, i also have one but their are so many powders to choose from. I want to know what people think work really well for that type of bullet so i can decide which one to choose.

I'm away from my beloved manuals and load data right now, but I'll bet you that Varget is right in there.....the power must be out in Ft. Mac, Cat hasn't chimed in yet. :)

Bawawa:sHa_sarcasticlol:

so do you guys have any idea for the type of powder?

I've had good luck with imr 4831 in a couple different .243's I had, using heavier bullets. (80 to100 gr bullets)

I would try and envision if you would ever try a heavier or lighter bullet and pick a powder that covers you in the direction you might go as well. Varget would work well at that weight and down, while another would work better at that weight and up. I really like Varget at 75gr.

4350 any make

I use IMR 4350 with good groups

Hy-brid 100 excellent powder in both the 243 win and 6mm rem , best with heavier pills but I have loaded the 6mm and the 85 gr partition in the past. It has good ES , meters well and produces excellent velocitys. Starting load around 39.5 work up to 44.5. It has burnrate between H4350& H4831.

Hybrid 100
 

I was also going to suggest Hybrid 100 for the mid to heavyweight bullets in the .243. I am getting excellent velocity with this powder. My late shooting buddy used a caseful of IMR4831 WITH 75 grainers though. Many use the 4350 of various brands with good success.
