[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2310329, member: 115658"] Sure is lots of data out there but not much powder availability or choice. My choice for 105-108 grain bullets in the .243 Win is RL23 and I am carefully saving my RL23 stash for shooting steel up to 1,000 yards with my 8 twist .243W. However, I have had excellent results with Power Pro (PP) 4000MR, like 42.5 grains with 105 grain Hornady hpbt & 105 grain Barnes Match Burners. Powder Valley (site) has 4000MR & a pound of it will go for somewhat under $60 including shipping - best to buy 2 pounds if Powder Valley allows that. Load data is nice & essential but often does not include all choices due to economic restraints. My Hornady manual, V10, has .243W data using 4000MR. Powder burn rate charts are intended for general guidance, not to replace actual load data. The Hodgdon powder burn rate chart places 4000MR faster than IMR 4350 but others place it slower than RL19 & just above H4831 and I have observed that. PP4000MR is an excellent powder for 180 & heavier bullets in the .300 WM. Many shooter only use what is presented and touted best thus causing shortages but other powder stocks like 4000MR have more availability. Another "odd ball" powder that might be available is Nobel Tubal 8000 - sort of like H4831. Vihta Vuori VN165 works well. Hodgdon 100V is sort of like 4000MR and has some availability. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/[/URL] Powder Valley is my first choice for on-line powder buying and they use "Captcha" to prevent bot raid buying.
