Default RE: 243 how far ?

ORIGINAL: Mr. Longbeard

Well were I hunt it's mostly woods. So the average shot will prob be like 50 yards... But a 200 yard shot is not out of the ?... I may look at the Nosler balistic tip...

thanks for the replys
Within 200 yards the Nosler Partition will do just fine, as well as the 100 gr CoreLokt and the 100 gr Hornady...I have also killed deer with all the above...The 85gr Sierra is better for longer ranges....Its what I use when hunting bean fields in eastern NC...For woods hunting I use the 100 grain CoreLokt, just because they happen to shoot to the same point of aim at 100 yards as the 85 gr does...The Federal Premium Nosler loading hits dead on at 100 and the Hornadys shoot 2 inches high and 2 inches to the right..
