243 Winchester, with 80 gr TTSX, Coal. 2.61 inches, federal 210 primers, Winchester, brass, and h4350
I started at 40.5 gn and got 3023 ft./s. I carefully worked my way up to 45.7 grains with no pressure signs. The speed there was 3446.4 ft./s. Probably I will be using 45 grains as it looks like a promising node.

If you're not seeing pressure signs, I guess. But I would've started a few grains lower, and probably would not exceed ~42gr... If it were me.
I say this because of the data for the 85gr I posted, and the data on Hogdon for the Hornady 80gr GMX (which has almost identical S/D and coefficient as the TTSX).
And ~3450 FPS is really pushing it with an 80gr...
