[QUOTE="dawg4life, post: 769733, member: 29873"] Bought a new gun yesterday. It is a Remington 700 SPS 243. Got it at walmart for $430 and it came with a scope that will be junked or tossed on a old .22 or something. I'll shoot this gun until the barrel goes south then start a build but for now its a simi budget/ long range fun/medium game gun. Anyway after I get a scope put on it I would like to take it out and see what it'll do. My question is what are some good factory ammo that won't be too expensive and shoot simi decent but that I can also use to hunt with. Probably won't go as big as deer with this gun but might pop sone coyotes at long range or if I can find some hogs on a local strip job that would be cool. Anyway I wanna stretch this gun out on some steel and maybe do some light hunting. Whats a good factory load to try? Its a 24 inch barrel with 1-9&1/8 twist. That being said if I did load for this gun what size bullet would be my max to stabilize? [/QUOTE]
