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.

Thanks @Barefoot, just loading up some 87gr BTHP's, will go 43.5gr 2209.
Going to see how these go, if not happy with the performance I'll switch to the 85gr Sierra
