Thomas243 & 55gr BT load
I am looking for a good load in the 243 using the 55gr nosler BT, and either Varget, H-4895, or RL-15. This load will be used in a tikka whitetail hunter that does very well with 85gr Game kings. I have heard that the 55gr BT is reasonably fur friendly, but the only way to know for sure is to try it. Any experiance with these little bullets?

B17GDefinitely second Bear Cats recommendation.
H 380, will yield top accuracy, and fantastic velocity.
It is the only powder that will accurately shoot in a Remington 700 rifle I shoot with the 55 or 60 grain Sierra HPs. One hole groups.
Otherwise they become 3 inch or worse groups in anything else it digests. go figure?> whatever works tho.
