I wouldnt use 2208 in a .243, too slow velocities for me for general purpose deer weight bullets and I dont shoot really light bullets. A .243 should be going as fast as you can get it, like the .270. I have used 2209 for years. But just reading Tahrs comment above, I have never tried 2213 and should look into that.

I know I was surprised as well. I did up a ladder and just kept going up until I got pressure then came back half a grain. Turns out it shot really well too, happy days.
