[QUOTE="Beelzebub, post: 769770, member: 29392"] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Federal Power Shok are as cheap as comprable Remington or Winchester and will out shoot both of them in my Remington 243, 9 1/8 twist barrel. My VLS will shoot the 100 grainers just over .5" @ 100 yards. I don't know how big your whitetail are up there, but with a good vitals or neck shot you will amazed at what the 243 will do to an animal. I'm talking utter internal devistation with a pass through or most of the frags pile up in the rib cage on the opposite side. I've shot 140# FL wt's at 600 yards and they didn't go more than 50 yrds. Of course you can buy more expensive bullets in the Federal line that will shoot an even better group and their premium loads are as good as you can buy in my opinion. I've been shooting 243's for 30+ years and have yet to fail a recovered deer. I reload and shoot a lot of 243's in a 5 Model 700's and a Model 7. If you're going to shoot steel you might be as well or better off to buy you a basic starter set and load your own. Two years of shooting will pay for it. Good luck with your new toy, B [/QUOTE]
