All around .243 load?

hello everyone. I'm in the process of purchasing a savage 16flhss .243 it has a 22in barrel with a 1 in 9.25 twist. this gun is going to be used for prairie dogs, coyotes, antelope, deer, and possibly elk if the conditions are right.

What would be a good all around load for wide variety of uses like this? more so what grain bullet would you suggest with the twist rate my rifle is?

thanks
 
Nosler Partition 85 grain for bone crushing, and a Sierra #1520 85 grain Spitzer for varmints. Powder choice would be around IMR-4350 with both. Been down that road with .243. Excellent cartridge!
