    I decided to make a few loads with 47.5gr of RL 19.  It fills the case to not quite capacity so it isn't a compressed load.  I've heard that RL19 is a better powder than Varget for the 243 87gr bullets.  Anyone have any experience with other 243 powders like RL19 that you achieved good results with?

    I think the varget max for the 87gr VLD is 39.5gr.  I thought for a starting load of 38gr, it wasn't too bad.  Do you think pushing it harder than that will give better results?
