Casting for the Ruger American 243

Hello, I have read many posts on casting for the 243 but have a particular question. I am pretty new at the casting process (but currently being trained) and was wondering if I could get some ideas on powders that have been used and their velocities to get me in the ballpark of a good accurate load. I recently purchased an RCBS 95g mold and will be casting for the Ruger American rifle. I am ultimately looking for a good Varmit/ Yote round. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Start at 12gr. of 2400,8gr. of Reddot, 7gr. of IMR 700X.

These have proven good starter loads in my little 770.
