It has been suggested to me that i need to use a powder for the above that's going to be readily available or i can run into trouble, seen as Varget and some others are banned, or are going to be, has anyone got advise on what powder to go for.

Watched a Y-tube the other day, guy measure's overall length of a Hornady 58g v-max 243, bulls the bullet, measures the powder 49.8g ? which should be superformance powder, is there any reason WHY this can't be copied like for like, the rifle will be a brand new Tikka T3 lite.

In a word YES you need to work up to this load not just copy it, drop 5-10% and work up in .3-.5 gr increments checking for pressure, if you like the way your face looks that is.

Best piece of advice I was ever given on reloading was avoid American powders because of supply issues. Ramshot powders are great but were unavailable for a while, with REACH they are on the shelves again and hunter will get you 3900+ with the 58 gr pill
