load data Hornady 108 gr ELD rem 700 VLS

I need some recommendations for the subject bullet in subject rifle. Any help?

The rifle is irrelevant. You must work up the load for your rifle.
The cartridge is not. Assuming 6mm, just use 105 or 107 grain data for a 108 in .243. The 1 or 3 grains difference won't matter. Partial to IMR4350 for 105's in my .243.

That's to light a bullet for 300win mag , oh sorry . That's to heavy a bullet for 223 Rem . No wait , what ?

I should have been more specific .I have loaded for 50 yrs and am accustomed to standard procedures and ladder progressions. Specifically the Rem. is a .243, bedded, Luepold 6.5x20. Usually group about .310 to .540 with sierra 75 and Berger bullets. i want to try and have ordered the relatively new 108 gr Hornady 108 gr ELD that replace the AMAX. Seeking that elusive one hole group. That's what I am looking for someone who has used these bullets successfully. Sorry for the confusion.twist rate 1/9.25
