RE: 243 bullet size

I have had good luck with the Sierra 85gr. HPBT on deer. I recently handloaded the Hornady 95gr. SST and want to give them a try this season. From what I hear, they should perform well.

RE: Which bullet for .243Win?

Thanks guys. I have used the 85gr.Sierra BTHP on deer with great results, but is it sufficient for hogs? I thought I'd need a sturdier bullet in the 100gr. range, i.e. the Honnady 100gr. Interlock.
