QL Request

[Charlie-NY]

Decided to pull out one of my safe queens and to treat her nice again. :grin:
I have a custom built 22-243 (not AI) 8" twist that I haven't shot in ten years :roll: but I'm ready to hand roll some new ammo.

I will be using necked down 243 Lapua brass and Federal 210M primers.

I had been loading mostly RE22 with good success with the 75gr A-Max but would prefer to use Hodgdon powders which I am well stocked with or maybe some Enduron if the info is available.

I have 500 Sierra 80gr HPBT bullet on the bench so I may as well start there.

Can anyone provide some QuickLoad data?

I don't have QL, but I'd say that H1000, H4831sc, IMR 7828ssc and IMR 7977 are all good bets.

I don't have QL, but I'd say that H1000, H4831sc, IMR 7828ssc and IMR 7977 are all good bets.

Thanks but some data is what I really need. The 7977 might be a good powder to try now that I've been experimenting with the newer copper reducing powders. All of the indicated powders are on the reloading bench. :grin:

I'm sure someone will help you out. I would if I could, sorry.

FWIW, I have the last (September) QL update and the Enduron powders are not in there.
