Imr 4350 for me also. 42.3 grains with either 90 accubond or 95 ballistic tip result in same point of impact for me to 300 yards.

Well, good thing I have a couple pounds of 4350. Seems to be the powder of choice. Thanks for the input folks. I'll try loading some up.

I have a 243 win. savage model 10 and I use imr4831, hornady brass and 95 gr. sst bullets and 43gr. powder and I shoot a dime all day long at 100 yards. A silver dollar at 300 yards. This is with using a sled. Using a bipot I shoot nickle groups at a hundred yards. It seems to work for me and I tried a lot of different powders and this setup works for me for preditor and deer.

Sounds like a sweet setup there

I used Dan Newberrys OCW load development system with the following; Remington Brass, BR-2 large rifle primers, IMR 4350 powder, and Sierra Game King 100gr bullets. This was my best grouping.

That's a nice group, it looks like you have found a good formula for your rifle.

Varget is like butter....Makes just about everything a little better.
H414 is another good choice.
Seriously Varget and the 51mm case were just about made for each other.

I found me a pound to play with! MMMMMMmmmmmmm........Butter

As an addition to all the other fine powders mentioned, I've found that IMR 4064 does well in my .243 rifle...so you might keep it in mind if you can't find some of the others. Here's a OCW test I was doing this past weekend using a Speer 75gr and various charges of IMR 4064:

I've used imr4064, varget, re15, re17, re22, imr7828 and prob a few more I can't remember. With 100+gr. bullets my go2 powder is re22. I can get a little more speed with re17 which is almost identical to imr4350 but it is so temp unstable(re17) that I shy away from it.

Ive had great luck with R19 and 85gr boattails. Dont remember the powder grainage off hand. I've always liked 1 grain under max.

h4350 is a good consistent powder I have been using for .243
