Load for 100 grain bullet in Savage Edge .243
 
I just bought a Savage Edge in .243. I want to shoot 100 grain bullets for Texas White Tails. Has anyone worked up a good combination load for this rifle? Interested in primer, powder (type and grains), and bullet.

Try some Barnes triple shock bullets in 85 grains we'll be happy

Primers and Powder?
 
What primer and powder do you use with your 85 grains?
I was thinking a heavier bullet for whitetails (100 grains).
The Edge has a 1 in 9.25 twist that should stabilize the larger bullets.

41.5 gr H4350 with either 100g Sierra or 100gr Hornady Interlock shoot very well for me.

I've been shooting Barnes 70gr X bullets and 85gr TSX ,but I've changed that to the Barnes 80 gr TTSX and find it very accurate with good penetration . I'm loading 44 gr of R19 with the 80 gr bullet
