Loading the .243 can be odd sometimes with some combinations, not sure why. I prefer the 6mm Remington with a long neck on the 7X57 or .257 Roberts case. Nothing wrong with the .243 and it's world wide.
The little 85 gr. BTSP bullets are hard to beat for all round. I played with the 100 gr. Hornady RNSP and they are great for deer here in the south. I like the 105's but the 85's are great. Winchester and Nosler went in and make a 90 gr. I wanted to try, a black silvertip.
I have a .240 Raptor 13" that is great and the handgun efficient version. You can chamber a .243 in an Encore but it's loud and not as efficient, the Contender/G2 .240 Raptor is grand. In fact the little .240 Banshee is amazing with 70 gr. or less, and only a dozen grains of powder.
