.243 bullets
 

i just bought my daughter a 243 rifle and i want to make sure she has every advantage posible. so does anybody know which brand, type, grain,
etc. would be the best i was thinking winchester balistic tips.

RE: .243 bullets
 

I use Reminton Soft points 100 gr. Never had a prob. with it.

RE: .243 bullets
 

I get 100 grain Hornady BTSP lt. mag cartridges for my grandsons. I personally do not like ballistic tips (couldn't give me a box).

RE: .243 bullets
 

Assuming you aren't hunting varmints anything from Sierra 85 grain Game King on up ought to do well.

I like 95gr BT's in the .243 cal. Preform good on game usually drops em in their tracks. If ur gona shoot factory try Winchester 95gr Ballistic Silvertips. If u reload work up a load with the Nosler 95grBT's. They never let me down.

my daughter shoots 100 gr serrias at 2850fps works great. also you might want to contact the womens sport shooting foundation on suggestions for fitting the rifle to her, i don't explain things good sometimes but most rifles are fitted for men not women the but of the rifle should be cut so its at a 90 degree angle or slanted forward to an 85 degree maybe, girls body structure is different from mens if this don't make sense contact me and i'll try to clear it up

100gr cor-lokts or 100gr partitions will do it to it.

RE: .243 bullets
 

I use 100gr spitzer NP.

RE: .243 bullets
 

I cast my vote for 100 grain Cor-Lokts or Nosler partitions as well. I don't like ballistic tips in general but I really don't like them in the smaller calibers. Too frangible.

all the info youve been a big help

RE: .243 bullets
 

I started using 105 gr hornadys round nose. I like the blood trails they cause and they work quick.
i have used BTs in the 243 but just wasnt impressed.

Remington 100 gr. Corelock factory load. Example, my grandson shot his first deer last year. A dandy 8pt buck at about 80 yards with .243 Rem. Corelock. Deer was broadside at a slight angle. I recovered the bullet on the far side just under the skin. It weighed 67 grains. Buck went maybe 20 yards. One very happy lad.:)
In my 6MM I use handloaded Nosler 100 gr Partitions, always get an exit. :eek:

RE: .243 bullets
 

I personal use Rem. core lock 100gr with my .243 because they shot the best out of my gun but my sons .243 same make and model will group better with the Win. 100gr. I don't like BT's but I would try different ammo and see which one shoots the best and go with that but I wouldn't go under 85gr JMO.

RE: .243 bullets
 

There are only three bullets that I would use in a 243 for deer. The 85 or 100 grain Barnes X bullet. The Nosler Partition or the Nosler Ballistic tips. I have used Ballistic tips in every caliber that they make them in. I would use them in any non Magnum rifle for sure. I have had them do strange things in the 7MM Mags.

My 9 yo little girl shoots a .243 I built for her and she shoots win. ballistic silver tips out of it no problemes I also shoot win ballistic silver tips out of my win. .300 no problems elk and muleys.

RE: .243 bullets
