Default RE: Best factory .243 cartridge for whitetail

I intend to try those this fall. I have got them sighted in and tried them on ground hogs (95gr) they do a really good job on them too! Center of mass shots tend to gut them. Head and neck shots are very damaging also. Maybe a good dual purpose round for a dual purpose caliber! Guess that's what 3100 fps out the muzzle will do.

ORIGINAL: TrophyBux

I use Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 95 grain. I shot a200 lb. 8 point at 180 yards last year and he dropped like I hit him with a .300 ultra mag. They're a little pricey, but well worth it!
