Ok
Could only get SP7 down where I am.
Looked on a site and it said SP7 was adaptable for calibers from .222 to .300WinMag
Now I thought, perfect- I reload .222 .243 and .300WinMag
Problem is all the info on loads I can find list a bit about the .222 and the WinMag but nothing on the .243.
Any ideas or pointers.
Thanks in advance
Jay

Checking with Quickload shows SP7 can be used for the .243 albeit only with case capacities around the 85% mark, what weight bullet do you use?

Built to 2.710" the absolute maximum powder load given by QL are as follows:
70 grain 45 grains
100 grain 40.5 grains
105 grain 39 grains
If you can let me have an email address and some more data such as OAL and actual bullet choice I can email you the full load data.
