95 grain vlds in 243 win

Thanks for all the info. I am just trying to shorten the search for a good load. I realize the twist rate is not optimal but if I can come up with a good load the twist rate is irrelevant at that point.
This particular rifle loves the 80gr tssx with H4350 pushing them them, but I was hoping find a load for this higher bc bullet.

So I'm curious are you loading to mag length in your rifle or longer and single feed. I find this to be the one of the issues trying to use the VLD's besides the 1:10 twist not being enough for the VLD bullets. I have also been looking at the 80grain tssx or the 85 non tipped tsx.
 
I am not loading to mag length on the tssx. They soot great with lots of jump. I am going to work up some loads in the morning and head to the range.
