Newbie reloading question

[NikatKimber]

Loadbooks are something I would recommend getting if they are available for a caliber you are loading for. It is for .243. I don’t rely on them solely, but it makes a great reference because they compile load info from as many sources as they can. This is valuable when you occasionally run into conflicting info. Or one manual doesn’t list info for a particular bullet/powder combo.

Look into Alliant RL22 for that bullet. That powder also works with 300 win mag and 30-06 as well. Meters well and can be found just about anywhere.

That’s good because.300 win mag is another one I’m going to load

Thats what ive used in my 300 for years. There may be better but it works well for me.

I plan on using the book with Hornady interlock 100 grain and staying below max load

what type of gun in 243 are you loading for, barrel length Etc

 

[kwaynem]

2 savage axis youth models 20” barrels
1 Remington 770 youth model not sure on that barrel length I don’t have it here

The Lee Second Edition is an excellent starter book, it has a lot of information on pressures etc.
