This is for a 243 win with H4350 and 95gr Berger VLD hunting. Shot at 100. I'm thinking 42.3 is where I need to be since 42, 42.3 and 42.6 are close on the center of the impacts. Could 43.2 be one to look at as well. What do you think

My Rem 700 likes the hunting 95 VLD's at OAL 2.882 an 39.8 of IMR4350, if I were you I would load 5 rounds
of 42.3 at different OAL's now to find the sweet spot, at 2.882 in my 700 that is just touching the lands.
 
42.3 does look pretty good. Those bullets are seating depth sensitive, and slightly varied powder charges will produce nearly the same effect as altering the OAL does, but as you point out the POI stability seems to be there around 42.3 grains. Work with some different seating depths at 42.3 grains and you'll have a winner, I would say.
