I use ADI powders because they are easy to get. In the 243 I use AR2209 because it seemed to be the most recommended. I use 2208 in other calibres and could have used that instead.

Beautiful, graceful lines on those old BSA rifles. I love handling things like this and wondering what stories they could tell. She will bring you a lot of joy I reckon.
