243 how far ?
 

243 100gr nosler part... How far do you think this load would take a 120lbWhite tail ???

RE: 243 how far ?
 

I was 100grn game kings figured absolute max 200 for a doe about 150 heavy buck mulie . You ought to be ok out to 225 ,but only if you HAVE to shoot that far and are sure of the shot.

RE: 243 how far ?
 

honestly about as far as you want to shoot in my opinion.

RE: 243 how far ?
 

as long as you can hit your target, you can kill it

RE: 243 how far ?
 

honeslty, i think for any center fire rifle your max should be as far as you feel comfortable.

RE: 243 how far ?
 

I agree.

RE: 243 how far ?
 

Anything over 100 yards and you will need some type of Ultra Magnum.... sorry, couldn't resist. :D

RE: 243 how far ?
 

Sounds like a skinny deer. You may consider something like a ballistic tip, because you can afford the quick expansion. Anyways,I like partitions too; I'd say as long as you can hit the sweet spot on a deer with that load it should be fine for a 400 yard shot.

RE: 243 how far ?
 

First...The Partition isn't your best selection for long range shooting...They are a harder bullet that give controlled expansion...I have killed several out to 300 yards with a 85gr HPBT Sierra GameKing...At that range you will have more internal damage with the Sierra over the Partition...

RE: 243 how far ?
 

Farther than most people have any business shooting. But like some have said, for far shots I dont think the partition is the way to go.
I will be honest, my comfort zone is 250 yds and under, not that my .243 isnt effective farther, it's just that I dont think I am.
