What happened to me today in reduced load shooting was akin to a religious experience. I also ordered a bunch of Blue Dot tonite. My CZ 527 .222 American Classic can be picked up FRI. I held it today and it's feel and appearance are impressive. Every one i've talked to that owns one has high praise. Let's hope. Thanks to those who got me started on this reduced loads kick. roger

What powder would you recommend for reduced loads in .243 if you had to choose one ?? Appreciate the information you and Seafire have provided.

Hey Roger, Not bad at all for 10yds. How did they do at 100yds??? April Fool!

"What powder would you recommend for reduced loads in .243 if you had to choose one ?? "

I'm not experieced enough to give a recommendation. In my 47 years of reloading I seldom worked up or used any reduced loads. This is all new and exciting to me. I always thought reduced loads would be difficult to stableize. Happily I was wrong.One guy you might contact is seafire/B17G. I'm kinda following his lead. roger
