IMR-4064/4895, RL-15 or Win 748 is where I would start. Varget or Benchmark would be solid choices as well.

Anybody on here have actual real life on game performance experience with any of the 243/6mm cartridges on deer sized game?
Getting some to try and work up a load in my 22" barreled 6mm Rem.
Let me know your thoughts.
Hornady has done a good job discontinuing items that aren't as "modern". I suppose these items aren't big sellers in todays market of wanting longer range tough bullets.

Any 1 powder to try before rounding up...
