Most people get a reliable load in that sort of combination. Then you can try different combos later -95gn targex, different powders like w760 or R17.

I'm shooting 95gn Targex's with a couple of different powder combo's under them .... the best seems to be 47gn AR2225 with the projectile seated 10thou off the lands .

They kill well and are also very accurate .
@elcaro has just bought himself a 243 (and is currently lurking on here) .. maybe worthwhile for him to read this thread .....
