I am using R26 and the 95BT and it has been excellent. Once you use up your current powders I would go to R23, R16, 4451 or some of the newer temperature stable powders. I would also see which ones seem to be more consistently available and/or buy in larger lots. I am not sure if I would call the 243 an inherently accurate cartridge but it has been very easy for me to find a good load. I think this is partly due to popularity and the abundance of good published loads.
