My 243 has a tighter twist and even though I stay at 95-100 grain bullets it's a deer killer with a 80 grain Barnes TTSX. Mine does best with IMR 4350 all the way. I have some IMR 4166 but haven't used it a lot but I do gain an extra 100 - 150 fps using less powder with it. I need to ladder up some and see how the accuracy is with it. It does keep my barrel a lot cleaner.
