look at Hodgdon's website to get a recommended load.

Take care.

I am using IMR 4350 w/100gr Sie BTSP and Hornady 100gr BTSP, CCI-BC-2 primers.
With 80gr Sie BTSP-Blitz I use IMR 4064.

These are in a Tikka 243 Syn/Blu W/Nikon 3-9. The 80's are great on Yotes and the 100gr works well on deer and small/med pigs.

I know extruded powders are difficult to use in a powder thrower, but after I use all the IMR I am going to try H-414, H-4350, Varget and H-380.
