.243 users????
What grain bullet do you use for Whitetail??
I am just wondering because a buddy of mine is taking his nephew out on youth day and he will be using a .243 with 80grn bullets.....does this sound right??? |
RE: .243 users????
Yea it is ok. My cousin shoots 95 grain out of hers. 80 will do the job. it is all about shot placement.

I also run 95 gr in the .243 that my wife and daughter hunt with.....Never had any problems, I don't think you will have too many problems with a 80gr as long as the shot is good...

RE: .243 users????
I don't think you can go wrong with any of those, but I have always used 100gr - prefer a little heavier bullet.My 10yr old loves his.... calls it his ".243 magnum" LOL :D

My brother uses a 95 grain bullet with his 243 after having a bad experiance with an 80 grain bullet not producing enough hit at 150 yards on a misplaced shot. It was a lengthy recovery effort to find out that most of the buck was eaten by the wolves within the 6 hour search.

Currently using 95 gr. Winchester silver tips for my .243. Got a doe with it a couple weeks ago and it did some terrific damage...dropped right in her tracks. I agree with a lot of the comments above that it is all in the shot placement...not just with a .243 but with any gun.

I use 100 grain Remington Core-Lokt

It dose not matter what you use for deer hunting. SHOT PLACEMENT is the key to a successful deer harvest. My wife uses 100gn in her 243.

RE: .243 users????
I'll second the 100 grain.. Always worked for me
