H4350 for .243?

[biologicole.com]

I came across some bullets from a past project so I'm planning to develop some me loads for my .243 Win in a Savage model 10 predator with 24" barrel and 1:9.25 twist. I have Barnes 85 gr TSX, Nosler 90gr ballistic tip and Hornady 90gr ELD-X. I also have a variety of powders but I'm leaning toward H4350. Does anyone have a good recipe for these bullets? Maybe even in this gun?
Thanks

That should work great for hunting since it's almost insensitive to temp change. May go that route myself with my 8 twist AI. RL15 was ok but want groups tighter.

I am sure that H4350 will be an awesome choice.
I have always used IMR4350 in mine and love the way they perform

H4350 is THE powder choice for the CM line and .308 based cases like .243 Win, 25 Souper, and .260 Rem. And all kinds of variants and Improved cases based off the .308 Win parent case.

I run H4350 in:
22GT
6CM
25CM (x2)
25MBK
6.5CM
6.5SLR
.260AI (x2)

I run H4350 in my Savage 10 Tactical but I'm using Sierra 85 GK and/or Hornady 87 Vmax. If you want to know more let me know. The GK's are consistently just under .5 groups (5 shot) Hornady's just over.

Thinking of trying the 80Gr ELD-VT in my 243. They grouped well in my 6Predator. Both are 8 twists. Forgot to state that this bullet loaded over
TAC.

That's the first powder I would try, H4350. Certainly try others just to compare accuracy/velocity.

I also have some Sierra Varminter 70 gr that I loaded for my son's Rem. 700 many years ago. I'll have to look back and see what powder I used. I believe it was RE 15 or RE 17. It did OK in cold weather but showed a lot of pressure in warmer weather. I'll probably be exploring new powders for light bullets, also. Honestly, I haven't shoy many varmints with my .243 since I got a .204 Ruger.
