mad1 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Good after all, I currently reload for my .204...223...243 and 308... At the min I'm using.. N135 for 39g .204 CFE for 40g vmax .223 Problem is I shoot 58g , 75g and 100g in .243 but I used the last of my Varget so I'm looking is there an alt powder that I can use on the .243 in a perfect world that can cover all 3 weights. I currently have N133, N135 and CFE223 powders at my disposal any suggestion as to what other powder ill need to start working up loads for my .243 and ultimately 168g in .308... Thanks all in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervusman Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 CFE223 powder is very good for 58gr bullets in 243 and 168gr in 308. Have a look at Hodgdonreloading.con website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lever357 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Viht N140 is a go to powder for the .308. Can also use N550 which I think is one of their faster powders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 I tried N135 with 168 AMax and it was a bit harsh. N140 worked superbly. I never tried CFE so can't comment on it. N550 is double based, which is good for target work but hard on the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried N135 which is faster burning but I reckon it would probably be OK with lighter bullets up to perhaps 125 or even 130 grain. I did try Reloder 12 but it was very harsh with 150’s, whereas Reloder 15 is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
