Good 243 load.
I am looking for a good load to try in my 243 win Coyote. The only 2 powders I have on hand right now are Varget and H4895. I'd like to try and stick in the 70-87 grain weight class but I could try just about anything its just a matter of getting the right components. I'm looking for a load for target shooting and would like to keep the velocity "up there". I have used the Sierra 85 HPBT with 36.5 grains of Varget and it shoots really nicely I'd just like to develope something thats a little hotter.

Does anyone have any loads I might want to try out? Or a starting place?
