[QUOTE="CPorter, post: 88585, member: 4952"] I suspect that the 105 gr Amax & the 107 gr SMK won't work in the rifle of the original poster. He more than likely has a 1:10 twist and these bullets require a 1:8 or 1:7 to stabilize at the velocities a .243 can reach safely. I've used the 70 gr Ballistic tip out to 500 yards in competition with IMR-4831 and Fed 210M primers and have been able to reliably hit the 2.5" clay targets we use. Nosler now has an 80 gr version that I'm going to try. VLD bullets in the 80-90 grain range should shoot well although they may not be great hunting bullets... [/QUOTE]
