.243 with 85 gr partition?

[wisconsinteacher]

I have IMR and h 4350, rl19, rl25, h4831sc, varget, h335, IMR 4064 and imr8208xbr. I also have a little win760 and IMR 4895. What would you try first and at what charges? Thanks.

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 59000 psi, or 406 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 100 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

[SJB358]

Rl19 works well for me with the 85's and 90's. I get 3100 out of the 90's with my 20" barrel. Just about any of the ones you listed will work decently WT

 

[wisconsinteacher]

IMR4350 and RL19 are only a few fsp from each other when looking at the list above.

 

[Vince]

I've had such good luck in all the other calibers that I'd give IMR 4350 a try first.
I use it in the following calibers:
25-06
6.5x284
30-06
.338 Win Mag

The only caliber I don't use it in, so far, is .300 Win Mag.
