Have you seen this? 243 Winchester - Reloading Data | Norma

I was hoping to try S070, Norma was recommended several times just nit stocked near me.
Yes its just not much information in there and also an older Norma manual that slightly contradicts the currant one as to the suitability of URP with 243. I’m sure it will be ok but if anybody has Quick load or experience of this powder it would be useful.
Well there are 2 loads with 100 grain bullets and one with 95 grainers using URP listed.
URP is I believe, very similar to Reloder 19 if that helps widen your search perimeters.
Try it, if you only have a small amount, what do you have to lose?
The classic Norma powder for 243w and heavy bullets would be MRP, with 204 a close second?
Viht wise, N160 and N560 probably go to powders.
Plenty of data out there for 243w/100grain bullets.....

Thank you, un fortunately i dont have easy access to a range, i have been using Hogdon which is no longer available.so am forced to try something else. In a currant Norma book it says URP in older ones it says 204 or MRP, i went with the book in the shop and bought URP.. which if i get a good load and dont burn my barrel i will be happy.
Well i changed the URP for Vihtavuori 160 as they had got some in, so all good now thank you.
