Thanks guys, I'll have to pick sum up and give it a try.
Sounds like the 4350 is one of the best in the .243.

You can use other manufacture's load data. Just do a google search for 243 load data. There are endless pages of data around for the 243. I usally go with either Hodgdon.com data or Sierra data.

If you can't find load data for the .243 Winchester and 100 grain bullets you aren't looking very hard. And no, it doesn't have to be brand specific either. Load data for the 100 gr. Sierra, Speer, Nosler, or Hornady works just fine for the Core-Lokt too. And this " 42 4350" is poor advice, there are different "4350's" and a grain or two can make a difference as they have different burn rates. Also, is this a beginning load or a max load? While I know that is a max load or near max load depending upon the type of "4350" just throwing that out there without the details leaves a beginner with some potentially dangerous choices. IMR-4350 or H4350 is my first choice for the 100 gr. bullet weight in the .243 Winchester but the data will be slightly different. A really well researched web search and/or a reliable loading manual is in order here.

I had found alot of data from the other manufacture's, just nothing specific for this bullet.I've compared 3 or 4 and have come up with a starting point for a couple of powders I have on hand.If they don't perform well I will go with the 4350 and will probably try some varget as well.
