HELP! .243 Winchester with RL17 90 Grain Berger BT Match Bullets?

Hey Guys, I just got 5 lbs of RL17 and have a whole bunch of Berger 90 grain BT Match Bullets Lapua Brass with some fedral 210M Primers. I was just wondering if any of you had worked up some good recipes with this powder and bullet configuration? My rifle is a Howa Axiom with 24' barrel w/ 1-10' twist and I use it primarily for hunting Coyotes. I was thinking of starting out with 40 grs and thinking I would be able to build up to around 42.5 max, what do you guys think?
 
According to quick Load, that should work. I personally had great results with 90 Berger BT Match bullets in my 243 Ackley with N-160 and Russian Primers. That load will shoot under and inch at 300 yds. with SD's in the single digits and no verticle. Good Luck with the new piece, let us know how it shoots.
