For what I have used Varget and RL15 in 308 based cases they are almost twins. In the 243 with the medium to light bullets both have given good results. I have tried both in my 260 with the same results. I lean towards Varget as it's one of Hodgdon's "extreme" powders.

Looks like I'm going to try some Varget. If you guys don't mind how many grains are you using? I know this is a touchy subject but from the data I'm seeing I'm getting different max and min loads. PM me if you want. I appreciate the help.
