loads for 243 win

i have bought a factory 243 win in a rem 700. bedded and replaced the trigger. i have tried 90 gr bergers, with no luck yet. fed large rifle and h4350 powder from min to above max with no pressure signs, loaded jammed .010, setting doesnt seem to help much.
any loads that work good for any one else. i have cci and fed primmers. 68 gr, 70 gr, 66 gr low drag, 90 gr bergers, 75 gr v-max. new rem brass fired in rifle.
i would like to keep it factory to use a factory bench rest for local shoots. i wouldl like one load that would serve as a bench rest and a good hunting load for varmint and white tall deers. i know im asking alot in one load but 1 is simple.
 
Here is one that works for me.
this is a 10 shot group.
bullets seated at the lands.

I don't usually worry about what groups look like at 100 yards, at 200 is where it starts to matter to me. VLDs tend to give me the same size groups at 100 as they do at 300. Flat base bullets should be more accurate at shorter range. Most Remington .243s have a 9 1/8" twist but you might want to check it out to be sure, you never know, you might have some silly 12 twist or something.

If that thing just won't shoot I'll gladly take it off your hands gratis.

Okie12, easy on posting groups like that when a Ruger shot it - we have to guard the Ruger accuracy secret the best we can. The internetz says they're inaccurate, we have to keep people thinking that.
