[ARCHIVED THREAD] - DTECH 243 WSSM

I recently purchased a used DTECH 243 WSSM upper with a SUM 24" barrel. I already had a lower to use on it which is a RRA with a Jewell two stage trigger. Last week I tried 6 different bullets with H4350 powder. The 95gr Nosler partition and the Hornady 100 interlock both shot very well! I went back out this weekend and confirmed that these are shooting around 1/2 moa at 200 yards. I could stay on the target and see the impact, which will be handy in a couple of weeks when I am hunting pigs. I also switched the Leupold 6.5x20 LR scope off for the D760 night vision scope (nice). This should make an interesting combination on the upcoming hunt. Later, I may look into a suppressor for this set up.

Love to hear that, I am just beginning to load for mine and have the 95nbts already and was gonna fo get some 87 vmax also. Did you run them over a chrony?

I did not shoot them across the chrono. In the 24" barrel they should be around 3000 fps. It is not a hot load since I do not want to destroy my brass.

My Oly 243 WSSM upper using 62gr Barnes Varmint Grenades(52.2gr Hunter) chrono at 3700 but its a new upper and the gas block turned out to be leaking heavily. I've only ran 40 rnds or so thru it. 80gr Barnes TTSX(44.5gr RL17) hit 3320 FPS). I expect these to increase once broken in. Both loads went under 1".
