Powder choice for 243 Win with 87gr bullets ?

Rl 23 will get it going. If you go to 105 class go to rl 26. My 1000 yard rig shoots 108 Berger's 3350 fps with rl 26. It is a 28 inch barrel so it should be good for 3300 in a Sporter. I have had the 108 up to 3450 but brass only got 4 shots before pockets got loose. Brass last 10 to 12 times at 3350.

Varget. Made a load with 75 gr VMax for a friend's 700 SPS varmint. Good velocity, SD of 7, and sub half inch groups. Great coyote load. I would try it with your 87 gr.
