    These two can use the same powder, I used to use H4895 but now use N140 or Reloder 15 for this role.

    I use Reloder 17 / Reload Swiss RS 60 ( same powder) to get much better velocity in these exact two combinations than I would with a powder of the above burn rate.

    If you wanted to use just one powder for all four, Reloder 15/ N140 would be my recommendation but RL17/RS60 gives amazing results in the 243 and 3006 with the heavier bullets you are using, 100fps over other powders with no extra pressure.
