Rem 700, 243 Win. 65 & 75gr V-Max

[@brantmcfarland517]

Good shooting gun. 243 is my favorite round. I load the Speer 75 grain varmint hollow point. If you try it you will love it. Thanks for sharing your time and videos with us.

[@billclay3643]

Always loved speedy twist .243s Especially with the heavies and a rifle/mag box combo that allows you to stretch the COAL.

[@m14708]

Hey CD i just shot a very similar load yesterday... 243 rem 700 26 in bbl... my best group was with 38.5 grains of Varget with 75 gr vmax... 4 shot group just under 1/2 inch at 100 yds... 2.260 cart base to ogive... great video !!!!

[@8626John]

Nice shooting! Great cartridge. My rifle really likes the 87 grain Vmax over IMR-4064.

[@daviddiffenderfer6963]

I found a 280 700 from 1979 dont no anything about it its thumbhole walnut stock and wever scope scare me but I'm gonna try it out I wonder.?

[@shaungray8863]

How long of barrel is that?

[@DanielBoone337]

That's a sweet setup brother... The 243 is something I've always wanted to tinker with but never have. Great video as always and can't wait to see the prairie dogs flying!!! LOL

[@rgthomson1]

Hey CD good shooting, a little advice, i have sen groups like this before and they only needed a move off 2 thou and they tighten right up, just seating depth and it be one hole, keep up the good vids

[@Zero-xc2pr]

I like CD because he actually shoots something. I take his word on rests, etc.

[@farmcat3198]

Hey CD, can you do a video about your Tacoma and how it works for you for hauling your gear and stuff?

[@cavedweller1959]

The Tacoma is sick right now, going to see the auto doc soon. Talk about it later.

[@cw2a]

Mornin CD!!! NICE!! I am buildin' a 6mm Rem hoping for delivery in April. Im targeting 105g but have a bunch of 75, 85g too. Had a couple 243's. Just always wanted a 6mm Rem. A 24" 1:8 3R .750 bbl gettin spun on.

[@bd65shooter]

I like how the 87 and 65g Vmaxes are hitting the same spot on the target, no need to adjust the scope!!

[@johnnorman7708]

That set up seems like a great heavy varmint coyote rifle, but downright excessive for prairie doggin.

[@cavedweller1959]

No such thing.

[@donbenson5292]

I always shot 70 gr Btips until I tried the 87 vmax's. I like the little longer range. I have some 75 's too. My most accurate is the 90 gr Bergers hpbt. Can't get them any more. The 88's are pretty good. I have 60 left of the 90's and only use them on 400 yd plus shots. They shot an inch at 400 yards on a calm evening. That is out of a custom stocked all factory Savage action, trigger and a hand lapped factory savage barrel. Thanks for the video. Getting me the fever waiting for the beans to come up next month.

[@kryptonguy8276]

So made a couple batches up. 65vmax Col-2.599 40g of varget. Using ruger .243 22 in. bolt gun suppressed. At 50 yards 3inch low At 100 yards inch low. At 200 yards on money. Zero at 200 yards. Does those numbers sound right for that bullet? That's what im getting. Also what should i expect at 300 yards and 400 yards? Thats for all the info..

[@cavedweller1959]

Your scope rings are way too tall..............

[@justbaggit70]

Im puting together a 6×45 going to try the 58vmax and the 75vmax

[@michealdaye4551]

75 Sie HP and roughly 41 grs IMR 4895 is my go to load.

[@anthonyfairbanks2952]

I have a Remington 700in 243 with a 26"barrel my like the 90gr nosler BT

[@trentsnaza3372]

Excellent shooting! Gotta love the Remington 700!! Gotta long range in 30/06 and a ton of reloads made up. Of coarse I haven't been out yet, kids, wife and snow!! Uugg

[@MsJon52]

now that's a good shooting rifle. I would have 100% confidence in shooting that while hunting.

[@Eric--zs6um]

I've loaded .243 for a dozen years and for me I prefer 70gr smks with 44.2 of 760. That gave 3475 avg 10 shots. Imr 4451at 41.1 for 3099. The 4451 I use for 600+. 22" bull 1/9 twist. Love the .243 and my 25-06.. Aim small, miss small.

[@kevintimson6591]

The 58 grainers also make fur go splat.

[@cavedweller1959]

Saw a box of those in a shop a few days past, If I see them again I'm going to snag them.

[@JerryTraegerSmoker]

Always enjoy your shooting Thanks !

[@Zero-xc2pr]

The 700 I'm bedding is a .243 Win. It was already a 1 inch gun. But not many dogs in VA. Just a ground hog every blue moon. CD laid waste with the Tikka.

[@justinpaffvett3367]

hi buddy how are you finding it getting bullet heads over there we in uk are finding it hard getting components.🇬🇧

[@cavedweller1959]

No powder or primers to speak of, you can find Hornady bullets most any gun store, other brands not so much.

With the glass bedding. I'm already past the point of "I should have stopped while I was ahead." And One-Shot is some high dollar stuff. I found this: CRC 3084 Dry Moly Lube, (Net Weight: 11 oz.) 16 oz Aerosol Can, Dark Gray - $10.81- Amazon I'll let you know how it does.

[@cavedweller1959]

Sure to pre-test before the real deal.

[@Zero-xc2pr]

@@cavedweller1959 The moly lube is like dark primer. Goes on like spray paint. So you're still breaking a bond. Don't use. Used a tin can to test.

I ordered the Boyd's A17 nutmeg stock on sale at OpticsPlanet for $158.00 (166.00 w/tax delivered). I'll figure out how to post some pictures after my bedding escapades. I gotta admit, epoxy is fun stuff. And having Boyd's to fall back on, in case I have to burn mine off the barrel.

[@cavedweller1959]

Hope your going to start off on the right foot & use e-pox made for the job and not something made for radiator leaks. And whatever you use for release agent, give it a dry run on something inexpensive.

[@Zero-xc2pr]

@@cavedweller1959 Thanks CD. I'm used to the Marine Tex now. But I'll do the soup can test with the One Shot. I just like the charcoal gray color. The shoe polish as a release agent leaves prints. That's really my only issue.

Not yet, but it might happen in the not to distant future.
