I found an extra pound of RL 22 that needing using and was wondering if anyone has tried it with the 95 grain Nosler BT in the .243?

Yep, RL-22 usually gets fine accuracy and top velocities with heavier bullets. It's one of the powder I always try when working with a new-to-me .243.

Thanks for the input folks. I will turn off a batch with RL 22 and see what happens.
