My .243 Axis with a 9.25 twist loves 95gr SSTs...those TMKs are loooong, try them just off the lands. And 3250 is getting up there...nice!

Pete Sierra makes a great Bullet, and i wish you all the best in your load development, but have you considered that all 3 bullets have different ogives ?
Which will engage the rifleing different. Your load Development will be more precise using the CBTO.
