Im buying a .243 this week or next im going to be using it for both deer and varmits what would be the best shells to use for deer and the best for varmits.

i thought about using winchester silver tips or remington 100 grain soft pointfor deer and using hornady vmax 85 grain for varmit would these be any good.

100 gr federal sierra gamekings will work for everything or even the federal 85 gr sierra gameking hollow points.

my gun shoots the winchester 100gr power point plus clover leafs at 100yds. they are discontunued now. i've been looking at the win xp3's but haven't gotten my hands on any yet. ballisticly i like the 90 gr rem serria bonded boattails. they have a high BC and good numbers. the 90-95gr bullets seem to have alot better numbers then the 100gr. bullets and you can get them for deer sized game. i wouldn't worry about shooting a deer at 300 with them. the winchers 55gr ballistic silvertips are a bad a** varmint round if your gun can shoot them. i think getting a gun to handle a 55gr and 90-100gr bullet is asking alot with the barrel twist in mind.

what about the 100 grain silvertips and u evershot the hornady 58 grain vmaxor know anyone that used them

I've had great success on deer with regular ol' 100gr big green core-lokts

Zerex,
