[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1103273, member: 74902"] Well I been eaten lead in game for 55 years and when my wife says I'm stupid, I have something to blame it on. Ate a lot of PCBs in fish too before they figured it was bad for you. So, I can understand your concerns. :) Lucky for you the Barns bullets can shoot very well. Are they target grade bullets? No. They are also not cheap. So, what to do? I would get that 243 working good first. It is cheaper and easier on the shoulder. I would suggest RL22 and the Hornady 105 AMax. The AMax usually works well in a slower twist barrel than a Berger 105. Then get the 7mag working with RL22 and the 150 TSX. Barns lists RL22 as their midrange powder for the 7mag, so it might work well. Use the 7mag for hunting with the 150 TSX bullets. Get it shooting straight and then don't fck with it. Don't shoot the barrel out trying to learn to long range shoot. ( I care not to explain how I know this). You would be good for everything from NJ deer and bears to Colorado elk. Neither of these rifles are know for long barrel life though. Have we talked about this before? So, a non-max load of RL22 and the 105 AMax could extend the barrel life of you .243 quite a bit.
