243 and Ramshot Big Game

[Budget'06]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to load some 95gr tmks in my dad's 243, and was curious if anyone had used ramshot big game for this weight class in the 243.
I did find 90gr load data for it and that speculated about 3050fps. Could I start at the minimum for that and work up?

Thanks!

I think big game may be a little too fast burning for the heavier bullets. Hunter would probably be your huckleberry if you have it.
I wouldn't have a problem starting with the 90 grain load if it's a similar bullet, but knowing that it's not the best suited powder for the heavier bullets I would try to find something a bit slower if possible.
Just my opinion and hopefully someone else will chime in that has tried it.

I might just bite the "bullet" and buy some 4831sc for that and my 30-06

I think you'll be better off in the 4831 burn rate. My buddy uses IMR 4831 with 100 grain bullets and it works well.

I've been using it with my 215gr 30-06 load, I like just running a bit low on powder lol
