I've been using 43 gr with 95 SMKs,
QL says 46.3gr should make 58600psi in a straight 243.
 
I have tikka.243 that shoots AWESOME with 4831sc and I tried RL17 with unsatisfactory results, try 4831sc works great with my 10 twist with 90gr BT's and the slow powder really helps barrel life.
 
You may want to try a faster burning powder with the lighter bullets. The powders mentioned seem to work better with the 90gr on up bullets. You may not see a speed advantage that others see when shooting the 70gr bullets with R-17.
