243 question

[model 12 toby]

got a good jag of RL-15. wanting to shoot 105 a-maxes with it since my recent success with 162 grain a-maxes. any suggestions? is it even worth a try.

RL-15 is a fast powder for the .243win. I wouldn't try it because like to have full case capacity when I get to the pressure I like and RL-15 wouldn't get me anywhere near full case capacity before it over pressurized. If you do try it start low and look for pressure early, especially with the hotter weather getting here. N-160 is the fastest powder I like to use with the heavy bullets. I've also had good luck with 46gr. of H1000 at short range. Good shooting, Brian.

H4831SC and H4350 have worked great with 105 AMax in my 243 AI.

+1 I use both these powders and I'm still can't figure out which one works best.

Rel 22 is your friend.
You dont even want to know what the 105 does to a woodchuck.
