Probably stating the obvious, but just look for 6mm Rem loads.
What is your intended use?
I use Sierra MatchKings and Nosler Ballistic Tips, both in 70 grain versions, for paper and groundhogs. Either one shoots great and gives fine results.

I've been happy with 87 grain V-max's with about 44.5 grains of IMR 4350. The V-max has a listed bc of.400 and seems to do fairly well in the wind (I think all wind starts in Tucson). The IMR meters like Lincoln-logs, but it's shot a little better than H 4350 for me.

The .244 has a slower twist than the .243 and the 6MM Remington its replacement and will not stabilize bullets much heavier than 90 Gr. with the factory twist well.
But I have had very good luck with the 87 Gr. Hornady Interloc and IMR 4530. With lighter bullets Varget works very well and that is what I use for my varmint loads.

I had a Ruger 77 years ago that liked IMR 4895 with 85 gr Speer BTSP's. It wasn't a real fast load but I'll take 0.3 inch groups any day of the week.
