Cast boolits in a 243?

Howdy folks,

I am about to embark on a quest to find a good Big Bore load using cast boolits in my Weatherby CFP in 243 win.
The ideal solution is amazing accuracy in a 95gr cast moving in the 1800-2000fps range burning Unique.

Once I source a good mold ( I am disappointed in the available offerings, I might just have one made) I will begin testing. Until that time anyone have any suggested starting loads?

Thanks,
Bob

I walked into a heck of a deal on some Sierra 107gr HPBT bullets. I bought a case of them for a song.

I don't foresee the need for cast bullets in this pistol for some time :D

Good luck with the Encore in .243. I had one and not sure what the twist was but I couldn't get it to shoo better than 1 1/2" TO 2" with any bullet. Not the accuracy I was looking for. Bbl found a new home.
