Default Speer manual

I can't find a Speer manual in Edmonton. I picked up a box of .243 speer boat tail soft point 100gr at a wicked price so I figured I would give them a try. I can't find any loading info for them. Would anybody no where I can get the load data for the .243 speer.
Thanks for the help.

I have a little bit of IMR4350 left. I was hoping to see what they recommended for that bullet as being the most accurate. Otherwise I would like to figure out which powder I should go out and buy. Im a new reloader so I don't have a great knowledge on powders for this .243 speer combo.

Have used a few but not enough to form a usefull opinion. Im partial to the hornady offerings for varmint stuff and am still undecided on a big game bullet. This year its ttsx or nosler partitions.

oh and if you are working up loads be careful when you get to the higher end as speer data can often be pretty spicy.
