What's the consensus? Usually sub-MOA? Hit or miss?

I've been searching high and low and can find VERY little info on loads for the LR243. It has a 1/10 twist so I'm thinking the Berger 87gr hunter or 90gr Target (non-VLD) would be the best for long range shooting. I have H4350, RL17, Varget, and H4198 on hand and all appear to be useful for this application.

Anyone had success with one of these setups?

I used to have one. I can't remember the load but I was shooting 105 Amax. I live at 6500 feet elevation and got away with it. The barrel was only 20" IIRC, was getting high 2700's. I think I was using Varget back then but not sure.
 
I have the same gun but i have only loaded 58 vmax and 55 blitzkings for coyotes. The gun shoots under an inch with factory superformance and even better with handloads. I would try varget.
