i wouldnt run the 55gr bullet in the 243.
id be looking towards the 70-90gr bullets. maybe even get into the berger vlds and load some rds that fly like theyre on rails.

if i had 243 the first bullet i would load would be the 95gr vld. it needs 1/9 twist. the 243 has either the 1/9 or 1/10. both twist though should produce acurate loads inside an inch at 100yds.
but to give load info on your rifle is impossible. every rifle is difrent. difrent seating deapth, powder charge, primer cases. each one likes it difrent.

with the 95gr bullet i would lean towards slower powders for the 243. imr 4350 4831 h 4831 maybe even rl19 i did not look in a book to sujest these powders just oing off the top of my head.

imr 4007super short cut might also be worth trying.

just sujestions youl never know till you start trying. whatever bullet you decide on find the most acurate load you can through research and try that first. most reloading books list the most acurate load tested for every bullet they show info for
