Thanks for the info :)

Now I got another question. I have some Norma MRP powder left and like to load it into the .243 Win. with  90, 95 or 100 gr bullets. Anybody got some loading notes on that?? I have info on N-205 but am not sure it is the same as MRP.

These loads came from one of my best reference reloading books ( Ken Waters Pets Loads ). He said " that MRP powder took honors with the 85 grain bullets ". Here are a few more of his loads with MRP.

85gr Sierra HPBT / 48.0grs of MRP / Win. primer / 2.72OAL / near max. / best accuracy in 85gr bullet
100gr Sierra       / 44.5grs of MRP / Fed 210M   / 2.70OAL / moderate  / very accurate

*Just remember that these are someone elses load and work up to them.

Even though these are older books Ken Waters Pet Load Vol. 1 & 2 are one of the best reloading books that you can own. Ken put alot of research into every caliber, gun, bullet, primer, powder and tested all of them. Giving great detail on his findings. Great reading.
Ken also developed the 7x30 Waters cartridge.
GOOD  LUCK  with the loads.
