| Alliant RL19 works for me pretty well, with bullets from Nosler, Norma and Lapua we tried. |

| The best load for my .243 turned out to use IMR3031. I've heard of good successes with IMR4350. But there are quite a few good powders out there. You'll just have to experiment.

| I've loaded 760 for years in the 243 but tried some IMR 4895 recently in a 700 BDL Sporter. It shot very well and velocity readings were outstanding.

| Not sure it's the best in every gun but 2 of mine like Varget with 100gr Sierra SPBT. Don't know the velocity but accuracy is simply fantastic for a factory barrel.

| With 100BT in my stepsons rifle. RL22 gave the best accuracy RL19 gave me the best velocity. We load the Rl22.
As usual just my $.02

| In my .243's I've found Varget is excellent for 75 gr and lighter bullets, and H-4350 for 85gr and heavier bullets gets the nod. I know 4350 is an old powder, and has long grains, but it meters fine though my redding br powder thrower, and accuracy is top notch. I've tried Varget w/ 85's and the accuracy just wasn't there.

| IMR4350 has been my 'go to' powder in the .243s I've owned, and have yet to have one that with a little charge tweeking, would not shoot under 1/2". But alas. . . . . every rifle is a little different. |
