My .243 Handi likes the Remington 85 grain bullet. I tried the Nosler 95 grain Ballistic Tip and the accuracy was very inconsistant. It was all over the target.

Go ahead and try the Noslers. They are great bullets and will hammer a deer.  I have not loaded the 85's yet, but have some to try.  I have tried 87 grain Hornadys in my Browning and it shoots them well.  I'll bet that your handi will really shoot them well.  Call the Nosler proshop or look it up on the web and see if they have some seconds. They are a lot cheaper than over-the-counter and shoot just as good.
