What's your best Whitetail round? Just picked up a TC Icon tonight.

Thanks

winchester 243 win 100gr. power point. Gets em everytime.
Live it up! Doug

my wife uses a .243 TC Encore 100 grain Win Ballistic silvertip, I shoot a .280 140grain Win same thing. both of us have never had to look for a deer

150 grain Nosler out of a 6.5 x 55 swede

Inside of 250 yards the 100gr CoreLokt work as good as any, I've killed 85 or so with that loading...For bean field deer the Federal Premium 85gr Sierra GameKing HPBT is very flat shooting and has more velocity for extented ranges...

About 10 years ago, I decided to kill 5-6 deer with each factory loading, they all worked...Just pick one your rifle likes...

I do to. Works pretty good.:fighting0007:

I second the motion.

I like the 85 grain Federal Barnes Triple shock. Solid ballistics of the lower grain and probably retains more weight than a 100 grain through the deer. Expensive though.

95 gr. winchester ballistic silvertips in my wifes model 7

I wouldn't think that would work very well in a .243.:rolleye0011:


I've had good success with the Remington Express 100 gr. Core-Lokt's. Try a few different loads and figure out what works best in your rifle.
