    Thinking of running ADI2209, 143eldx and Lapua brass

    Cheers
    Couldn't think of a better place to start than what you are planning.

    I have tried every powder and projectile combo I could think of for mine.
    My barrel was very picky tho.

    129 interlock which I still use a lot for reds and shots inside 300ish
    123, and 140 Amax were very accurate.
    But I settled on the 130 berger VLD hunting and Win 760 powder. I have good case life, excellent accuracy and and velocity with a low ES.

    One powder I haven't tried but have heard is good in the improved is RL16. But I am pretty content with how it goes now.
