I've not got load data for you (but head for Hodgdon's website - assuming you've got a 22 inch barrel, take their figures and remove 200fps) but I'd be using 55gr Nosler or 70gr Nosler ballistic tips. Or Sierras, too.

 

Sierra have a good reloading guide for 243, which uses a 22in barrel - google for sierra reload data 243 and you should find it, it's a PDF.

42.9g varget with 58g v-max, 3662fps 1/2 inch groups, tikka M595 .243

[v-max 2]

36g Varget & 87g v-max but there is plenty to choose from the v-max range & Varget is the powder of choice for this cal.
