243 Win. and 100gr FB Question
Hi, I was given a couple of boxes of 100gr Sierra SPFB bullets.
I would like to load them up using Varget powder, but all the data I'm finding is for the boat tail bullets.
Can anyone tell me, or point me to some data using this bullet and powder?
Thank you

According to my Speer book, some of the powders require different charge amounts for the FB than for the BT, some use the same charge weight
Hodgdon only lists loads for boat-tails in 100gr bullets.
Kinda confusing! lol
Thanks
