If you want a lead tip-100, I'd suggest the 100 sierra BT (0.434) or the hornady 100 btsp (0.405), better BC's. Even speer has another one, a regular boat tail, not the grand slam.
The hornady's are around most of the time, and sierra's are in stock right now I think...
I've switched to the hornady in my 243, it has enough speed that the 0.405 doesn't give up much, but it's a bit tougher bullet with the cannelure/interlock ring and all. ~2950 out of my newer 243.
The 243 on whitetails has worked fine for me, shorter 243/6mm-Creed barrels and ~2830 MV or so, out to 150 yds is all I've taken them (in the past).
