I haven't found a load for the 100gr bullets, but my vanguard s2 shoots the sierra 85gr SGK's real well. The 100's were OK, but not great.

I have a similar rifle that I got in '67. Over the years I've shot about every 243 bullet made. The wt range that it seems to like best is 70-80. It loves the Barnes 72 gr Varminater and the 85 gr TSX.
Lighter bullets would be where I'd start. I had a .243 that just loved the 75gr Remington bullets.
Any updates on a cure for your problem? I know it's hunting season and shooting time is a scarce thing. Just wondering.
I have gone through the frustration on a rimfire, but it is no different as to narrowing down the possible issues. It is tedious, but you will get to the answer.
Examine crown.
1. Thorough cleaning, then shoot. See if there is marked improvement.
2. Swap out mounts and put back on the same scope. No need to zero it in, just take ten shots and see the spread.
3. Same original mounts and swap scope. Do as #2.
4. Examine your targets for stringing in any direction. If present, this would indicate a pillaring and bedding job.
5. If all above fails, I would then play with the ammo selection.
