RE: .243 Win. Varmint rounds? What grains?
I haven't had a chance to shoot mine yet but when I do the first two loads I'm going to try are the Winchester 55 grn and the Hornady 58 grn Vmax. My local shop said they have heard really good results from the hornady rounds. After that I will try the Federal Vshocks in 55 and 70 grn.

I use the Hornady "Custom" 100 grain bullets for Deer and Coyotes.....haven't lost an animal yet with my Browning .243 Rifle!I don't use any lighter bullets because I just don't want to keep wasting bullets/money re-sighting my gun each time I change weights?

It would be nice to find 2 quality bullets of weights of maybe 85gr +/- like 85 softs/HPs for the varmints, and something nicer but same weight/flight for antelope/deer, though it will be antelope primarily, I think I may just end up using whatever I use on antelope for coyotes as well, anyone see a real problem with this? say a 90 or 95 soft point etc.....?
