[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1425477, member: 41338"] The 243 is a very versatile caliber that can usually shoot great with slow or fast powders and heavy or light bullets. Of course, twist is a big factor but all things said, even a 10 twist can shoot a pretty heavy bullet. 4064 works fine and if you have some, there's no reason not to use it up. Slower powders may well optimize things on the fps side of things but when you find a load that shoots well, does a few feet per second really matter that much? I find RL-25, which is considerably slower, gives good speed and accuracy but I've used Varget and it's done well too. Personally, I feel the 243 is a barrel burner only because it's so darn much fun to experiment new loads with. [/QUOTE]
