Flatlander -- Oh yeah, that was just a joke -- I would have used Pyrodex (bigger [g]).
I've got some 4198, which I figured was the slowest powder I would use. I'll try the 2400 first and see what happens. NEF advertises the .243 as "low recoil" but that has not been my experience, especially in a 22" barrel. Thanks to all.
