Welcome to the Brotherhood :-)
The Hodgdon online data will serve You well. Just start low and work up.
Will do thanks
My 9th Edition Hornady manual does not either. imrpowder.com data for .243 Winchester 95 grain bullet using H4895 is:
.243 (Load page states 95 grain Nosler Partition)
Case: Winchester
Twist: 1:10"
Primer: Winchester LR, Large Rifle
Barrel Length: 24"
Trim Length: 2.035"
H4895
COAL: 2.650"
Min: 33.0 gr (2,865 fps) 45,000 CUP
Max: 35.0 gr (2,990 fps) 50,700 CUP
Lee manual for 95 grain jacketed bullets is exactly the same as IMR's site for min and max charge using H4895.
I should have that right, but go to imrpowder.com and double check what I wrote, just to be safe. Hope that helps.
^ A search for imrpowder.com data ^ leads us to the Hodgdon reloading data site, the owner of IMR Powders, and Winchester Powders. H4895 is a Hodgdon powder.
I thought I was missing something. But maybe not? :-))
Hodgdon data shows using a 95 Gr Nosler @ 2.650 starting load is 33.0 grs @ 2865 FPS.
Max load is 35.0 grs @ 2990 FPS.
H-4895 will work with the 95 grainers but there are better suited powders for that bullet weight.
If H-4895 doesn't give you satisfactory results try one / some of the following powders....
H-4831, IMR-4831, H-4350, IMR-4350, Accurate-4350, IMR-4955, IMR-4451, Ramshot Hunter, RL-17, RL-19, RL-22, & Hybrid-100V
