Dewy
A 100 gr boat tail bullet is only marginally stabilized in a 1-10" twist. Get the Hornady 100gr Flat base.

The powder you are sugesting is too fast, use IMR 4831.

Hello Dewy, My 243, only reloads I use is 85 grain Sierra HPBT's
 With close to max load of IMR 4320.  gives me 1/4 inch groups.
 Best of Luck Marv.
