| 4350, H414,WW760 are all great in 243. all similar burning, 4831 is a bit slow, 4895 a bit fast |

I certainly second that statement.. 4064 is more than what you need for accuracy..sure you may give up a 100 fps MV at most..but you'll gain in tighter groups |

| The 4064 will work, but is too fast for optimum velocities with a 95 grain bullet. W760 is a bit better choice.
H4831 is the best I've found for 95-100 grain bullets in a .243. I must vehemently disagree with comments that it is too slow: Any powder which leaves room in the case when maxiumum pressure is reached is, by definition, not too slow. My .243 sporter (which apparently has a
"fast" barrel) reaches 3150 fps (and all the pressure I want to deal with) with a 100 grain bullet using three grains less H4831 than I could crowd into the case. If I loaded the case to capacity with H4831 it would blow primers. |

It really is impossible to tell which powder will work in an individuals rifle. In two of the .243s I have tested loads using 80 to 100 grain bullets MOA. results have been achieved with the following powders at the indicated velocities with the 100 grain bullets.
