.3 grain swing? That is really nothing when you are talking IRM powders unless you are at or beyond max loads.

Some of my best .243 loads could vary by almost a full grain on either side of my chosen weight and they would still do well under an inch off the bench.

Strive for consistent loading density and you will find happiness.

As for BLC 2, I never had much luck with it our of my guns. Or the Winchester ball rifle powders, either.
