Pet .243 loads anyone?

[Powerhouse]

Anyone care to share their favorite.243 load with me? I've been trying to work one up but have very little time on my hands. I am loading Sierra 85 gr. BTHP Gamekings and trying 3031 and 4350 IMR powders. Rifle is a Savage 99 and is amazingly accurate with Remington and Federal factory ammo.

I've always had good luck with H-414 and more recently Varget. The Varget seems to be slightly better than the H-414 with different temperatures. My go-to summertime fun load in my .243 is 41.5grs H-414 behind a 95gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. PLEASE remember the rule of backing off and working up to ANY load. This one consistently shoots 1/2 MOA in my Mark X. Wish I had more experience with lighter projectiles, but I'm sure somebody on here has.
