Any advise on powder loads for .243

Hello chaps, i just wondered if i could have some ideas on powder and loads of for 100 grain soft points, im aware of the variables but just after some experianced thoughts.
Many thank
Mark
 
Do you have a reloading manual? Don't meant to sound terse here but you should pick a powder that seems to fit your needs and try it. There is no elses' load or powder that is guaranteed right or safe for your gun. You must always work up your own loads. One tip I can give you is to pick the powder that develops the velocity you want at the lowest pressures. If you don't have a manual, try Hodgdon.com. ~Muir
