I have used RL22 in .243 under 95gn Nosler BT's. Nice and gentle, not too fast and sub MOA accurate.

I have used reloader 19 with 90 grain soft points to great effect
Here's some ideas. http://forum.accurateshooter.com/index.php?topic=982860.0 I've had some success with N160 recently. Regards JCS
95 gr Nosler BT's 36 grains Reloader 19 worked for me, but a word of warning work up your own loads just because a load is safe in someone else's rifle is no guarantee that it will be in yours.
You should be able to get a table try google start min and work up.

Yes ive been using N160 aswel just now but thought about a change too see what i could come up with. Found N160 good in 95grn noslers and 44.5grnof it. Couldnt get it too work with 80grn soft pounts or 100grn soft points tho. So thats my thinking of a change of plan. Any other powders u canrecommend wud be great.
I've used Reloder 22 for 100 & 105 grain bullets with good success for years - I get less than 1 MOA at 100yds from my standard slow twist barrel Tikka M595 . Used 96% of Alliant's maximum recommended load & got no signs of high pressure.
As always work up your own loads for safety.

Have you thought of trying reloader 17 or Elcho 17 (same powder but cheaper in a kg can)? It's a very versatile powder see below for 243 load data

tried it didn't get on with it,its more suited to the heavier calibers,a 243 is a peach to load for up to 75gr Vit 140 80 to 100gr Vit 160
looking at Paul O reply 3800 fps with RL15 and a 90gr bullet,that seem to be the kiddy,but Iam still waiting for verification on this magic load

Cheers for the info see it shoot it, Ive got my hands on a tub of RL17, I'm going to see how it goes, if it doesn't work I think I'll be trying vit 160
i have 15 ,17 and 22 in stock pablo
You must have a typo there as that equates to 3000ftlb which is pretty ambitious for a 243.
