RE: Factory .243 Ammo
I have hit a point in my shooting that I only reload for my guns, and though I do not like Remington factory ammo, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Corelokt bullets. I would go as far as saying that they may easily be the best hunting bullet on the market for the price.
I have guns in too many caliber better suited for deer size game, but I recently bought a Sako 75 Finnlite in 243 to use on "varmints" and am loading it with 80 hr Ballistic Tip and 85 gr Partitions. Both shoot very well, and the Partitons SHOULD be adequate to use on deer.
