RE: .243 bullet
I haveused the 100gr sierra SBT gameking and the 85gr HPBT both with excellent results. I always stuck with the 100gr sbt because it consistantly shot better than any other bullet out of my browning abolt. I have shot several michigan whitetails with this bullet at ranges from 70-280 yards, always with the same results small enterance with a exite the size of a nickel to a quarter. All one shot stops, never had a deer make it more than 20 yards after being hit. I started shooting the federal premium load when I went to college and have to admit I couldn't load it myself any better. They clocked at around 2850fps out of my 20" Abolt.

95gr nosler partition, just in case you get a little too far foreward and have to punch through some bone especially if you get out to say 200 yards or so. I know that we like to think of ourselfs as snipers etc but bench shooting at paper and the real thing don't even compare. A good quality bullet as mentioned above will make up for a slight mistake in shot placement. You will have to do your homework and work up a load to see what your particular rifle shoots the most accurate but thats half the fun...good luck!

I just killed a big doe (110 pounds after field dressing) using the hornady 100 grain BTSP interlock. I recovered the bullet and it had retained 75% of its weight. They are 13 bucks for a box of 100. Cheap reliable ammo. EJ

RE: .243 bullet
I cant find the Hornady's around here. I have been thinking about tryin to load up some but I dont really have time to get the right load made up before I go back. I do a lot of walking and I take some weird angle shots, have you guys had any luck with the quartering shots and what load? I am probably gonna try a box of core lokts...they seem to be money in every other gun I have tried em in.
