I have Winchester model 70 243 with a 24" heavy barrell, whats the best varmint load?

Answer 1

How can we answer that from long-distance?
Half the fun is the trips back and forth between the loading bench and the range. For varmints, unless you're pelt-hunting, bullet construction is probably not going to be a major consideration as it is with larger game, so you'll be looking for the load your rifle likes best.
If you're not hand-loading, this is as good an excuse as any to start putting together your own custom loads. Otherwise, trial and error with factory loads is going to be time-consuming, expensive, and not nearly so rewarding.

Answer 2

Unless you are keeping the pelt try lighter load quality hunting ammo like Federal, Winchester, Hornady, etc. An eighty grain, or so, weight bullet weight should be ideal. If your rifle prefers the heavier, say 100 grain bullets, then go with those.

Best.

Answer 3

Whichever one your gun likes best is the best one. Even if I had the same identical gun as you, our guns might like separate ammo. In general, some will shoot better than others, but when it comes to best you just have to shoot em all and see.

All I can say is try various ammo, and if you reload, experiment with different loadings with varmint ammo specs.

Answer 4

In factory ammunition- Hornady V-Max
In handload, V-Max and N110.
