.243 bullet

If you had to choose between a 75grn. vmax or a 100 grn sp what would you pick? This would be for general target shooting and varmint shooting?

V-Maxs have always been accurate in my guns, along with nearly anything Hornady. And they work well on coyotes on down to prairie dogs.

the 75 grn. if its just for smaller varmints and targets

I have a .243 and with 75 grain I hold a real tight group out to 400+ yards but I shoot mainly 100 grain my group is not as tight but still within an inch - I go with the 100 grains because it also doubles as my deer rifle and I like to shoot the same rounds out of it year round - no mess'n with the scope and I know where it is going to hit and when you're that accurate to 400 yrds on woodchucks and other varmints you sure as heck ought to be able to hit a deer

I used the 75gr Vmaxs for a season out of my 243 and did not like them on coyotes. They always seemed to blow up on entry and left some serious holes. I switched to the Hornady 75gr HPs and have been using them for 3 years now with only one exit hole in that time frame on well over 100 coyotes.

I have a Savage model 11 .243, with a 3x9x40 scope, I am shooting Hornady 58 grain V Max's, tight group, only about an inch of drop at 200yrds, 3" at 300. Stay pretty tight, real consistant. A 75 grain bullet is a large one for coyotes, considering a .223 or 22-250 use a 30 to 40 grain, or smaller, depends. It would probably blow a pretty big hole in a yote.
