RE: .243 Question?
95 or 100 for deer and lopes. The 55 grainers are hell on wheels for squirrels and yotes. If you shoot 1 1/2 with the 95 or 100 thats great for deer and lopes, if the 55 grainers shoot 1 or less then your in business for squirrels. My tikka 243 loves the 70 grain ballistic tips for varmints, can shoot Quarters all day long at 100 if I do my job. I did take a small black bear with the 70 grainers with a heart shot, since that was the only load I had with me (bear died in its tracks, bullet entered and exploded in the cavity destroying most of the heart and lungs leaving no exit wound but a 1 foot circle of bloodshot under hide on opposing side), but would not have wanted to count on a clean kill with a larger bear or a non broadside shot.
