Factory .243 Ammo
 

What do you guys shoot for Whitetails? I pickup 2 boxes of Federal 100 grain soft point Hi-Shok.Brand new gun going to site it tomorrow.
Any opinions on this ammo?

i use Remington Core-lokts and i just love them. anyother bullet will not shoot worth crap out of my gun.

What rifle are you shooting?

RE: Factory .243 Ammo
 

They are good bullets they should shoot well in your rifle and cleanly take deer with a well placed shot. I shoot them in my rifle and use them for deer hunting around here they are 15 bucks a box, cheaper than other brands.

I've killed about a hundred with plain old CoreLokts...If you are talking about the cheaper Federal in the blue and silver box, they will be fine...I killed 8-10 with those a few years back, I believe they are the Speer HotCore...I don't think they are as hard as a CoreLokt, but they will do...

My buddy that has a Remington .243 uses Winchester Soft Points in 100 grain. His gun jams up if you try to shoot Remington Core Lockts in it so that's why he uses the Winchesters. Honestly, just use whatever your gun shoots best. I've read nothing but good about those Federals in all rifles when it comes to shooting deer so if your rifle shoots good with them they would be a fine bullet to use.

The one I have is in a red box w/ black accents.

That is probably vital shok then they will work just fine.

I use Remington Cor-lockt 100gr. and haven't experienced any problems, and will continue to use them.
