New .243 advice

[Porter24]

Hey guys, just picked up a m77 target and I have never loaded .243 only .223, and .308. Just looking for advice on bullets and any thing else that would be helpful. He have me some 70g nosler and 87g vmax also.

With WIN brass and primers here is what works for me out of my Savage 12:

70gr Nosler BT with 39.5gr of IMR 4895
87gr V Max with 35.2gr of IMR 4064

Both loaded to OAL of 2.650"-2.655".

These two loads are the most accurate loads I have shot out of this rifle.

87gr V Max with 41.1gr of RL15 .010 off lands (this is a top end load, work up)

Barrel length & twist rate?
what will you be shooting.
paper, steel, or game?
