Load Data Needed for 115 & N 165

I need a starting load for a .243 SAMI for the 115 Tubb bullet and VihtaVouri N 165. I was thinking 42gns, jammed in the lands). Too much? Can't find load data anywhere.

I want to test at 0600 Thursday, so please respond....

For the .243 Winchester, Vihtavuori load manual has the following loads for One ZERO five Scenar, 2.689" COAL:

N165
Start: 42.2 | 2635 fps

Max: 48.5 | 3012 fps

Mind you, the 115 is heavier with a much longer bearing surface. You have to use your judgment with the data above to figure out a logical start point, but I wouldn't be surprised if you end up around 44 grains.

JoeH quoted a load of 44.5 grains.
