.357,

Merry Christmas.

Thanks for your kind reply. Since you did not begin by saying you had many reloading manuals, my "boiler plate" caution is to get manuals and CHECK. I am glad to see you have that base covered.

I have several .243s and have done much load testing. For my rifles, I found H414 to be the best propellant with 100 grain bullets. That is all I load for chucks to coyotes to deer. I have a Ruger M77, a Mauser Mark X and a Remington 700 BDL. My accuracy load of H414 used to be 2 grains under maximum and is now one grain over in the latest Lyman manual; thus I will not post the load data here.
