80 grains seems to be doing the trick on the other 243 thread. In the video that was posted awhile back(jackelope?) the guy that was shooting a 243 over a thousand yards pretty much had to use the 105 grain bullets to keep the wind from taking it away.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

It really doesn't matter. Anything from 80 to 100 grains will be fine. Just whatever shoots the best in your rifle. I like bullets that don't come apart, so I'd probably try Nosler Accubonds or Barnes TSX first.
