I just purchased some 90gr. Nosler Ballistic tips to load in my .243 and cannot find any load data.IMR site lists 43gr. IMR 4350 as max charge, but cannot find C.O.L. Thanks

Set the C.O.L. for your gun at a length where the bullet is about 1/16" shy of touching the origin of the rifling, OR to a length that permits the rounds to function in the magazine of your rifle.

RE: .243 load data
I put a bullet on an empty case and chambered in gun closing the bolt. When I removed it, it measured 2.810. I loaded the case with 42.5gr. IMR 4350 and set the C.O.L at 2.700. I will shoot a few rounds this weekend and see how it goes.
