Are you loading with IMR 4064? I'd mess with the bullet seating depth. IMO, 243s are a bit touchy with seating depth.
Just remember that at the upper pressure levels, the .243 can be a bit "touchy". Add that last grain of powder, and the pressures can jump dramatically.
What kind of groups are you getting now? Are you starting with a starter load? Finally, any work been done on the rifle? Floated barrel, lightened trigger?

Brenda's ABolt likes a 95 gr SST in front of 45.1 gr of 7828. Tried messing with seating depth and discovered that they are pretty much a 1" capable rifle. Set your loads at factory length. There's not much to be gained after that. The only real improvement I saw was using collet dies on once fired cases. That made a significant difference. Afa hunting loads anything with light ballistic tip projectiles and high velocities ( over 3000 fps ) will most likely not exit so shot placement is pretty important.

My Ruger likes the Nosler 95gr BT and IMR 4350.
