For the .243 and distant marmot shooting I'd be tempted to start with the Hornady SST.....
Bear in mind that many bullets may have to be tested to find the accuracy you want.

I know the Sierras are known for their accuracy. I would start with them and the hornady sst. I think Sierra makes a varminter bullet, like the blitz king. www.sierrabullets.com

You might look at the Hornady 105 grain A-Max. This bullet requires a 1:9 twist, like the other bullets listed that are above 100 grains in weight. I have a 6MM-284 with a Jeff Lawrence barrel that will shoot this bullet into 1/4" at 100 yards. Expansion is pretty violent as well - something you may or may not get out of the other VLD bullets.
