    Why 2208? damn near any powder going works in .243 - for pills in the weight range you are looking at, 2206H and IMR4320 are both really good as are: Re22, IMR4451, 2213Sc, 2209, IMR4350, 2217. Have used/am using all of the above - As to weather the pill you are pointing at to being good for your purpose, what are you planning to use it on and at what distance? 7mm Mag and .243 not quite the same thing dontcha know..... Ordinary old 95gn SST and 100gn Interlocks work fine, would be my choice over the 85gn Sierra Hp, based on having killed deer and Tahr with both. Support a local bullet builder @TARGEX by trying his 95gn Hp, they flat out work. Spoilt for choice really.
