I will be using 123gr elds but would like to use some 100gr partitions or BTs. Be a poor man's 243 then.

100gb serria hollow points are awesome aswell They shot awesome in my old Grendel haven’t tried them in the new one yet got a box here and fully intend to though I want to try the 100gn bt aswell
Yeah I think you’re only losing about 100fps on factory 243 ammo 100gn 243 factory is doing about 3100 from memory but that’s from a 22-24”barrel
The Grendel will do 3 k with a 100gn (good handload) from 20”
So yeah it’s just a 243 in a way smaller more compact package
