I have a good load for the 70 grain and 100 grain pellets using IMR 4064 and IMR 4350 respectively. Let me know if you're interested in these loads.

would imr4350 work with the 60 grain hp?

Out of the Load All One Calibre/One Book for 243 Win:

60gr Sierra
Accuracy Load IMR 4064/39.1gr @ 3500fps/1632 ft.lbs
range on powder is 37.9-41.6gr

Hunting Load H380/43.8 @ 3700fps/1824 ft.lbs
range on powder is 40.8-45.4gr

In Sierra 5th Reloading manual it shows:Accuracy Load: Benchmark 37.6gr@3400fps/1540ft.lbs
Hunting Load: Varget 43.0gr@3600fps/1726ft.lbs

I have been shooting accuracy loads for Sierra 80gr BTSP/Blitz and 100gr BTSP Game King out of this book n my Tikka with great results. Good Luck
