100gr Sierra BT with 36gr of Varget.

100gr Sierra BT with 41.5gr of IMR-4350.

Either works great in both my 243s.

With the 95 Partitions, start at 41gr of IMR-4350 and work up in 0.5gr increments. You should max out around 43.5 gr. If you dont find good accuracy keep the 95s and try Varget powder. Also seat your bullets long. I use 2.725"
