243 Ackley with 108gr ELDM and Vihtavouri Powders

[Oats]

Hi guys. I have just been given a 243 Ackley to work some loads up with and After the loss of the 105 A Max it loved and various powder shortages in the UK, I was hoping to start out with the 108gr ELDM and probably Vihtavouri, 160 or perhaps 165 and just wondered if anyone here had any experience of that combo. the Powder is fairly consistently available here in England whereas Hodgdon, IMR etc. are a bit sketchy these days.

Any relevant tips would be appreciated

cheers

N160 wont give you the real speed that you wil get with the 5 series but its allot "cooler" burning and a good powder for 243 size cases with heavy bullets.

Speed is not the overwhelming Priority and I have seen bad batch to batch consistency with 5 series powders but thank you for the feedback
