    Powder for new 243 no varget

    I have had some really good results with Hybrid 100V in my 243. I haven't tried the bergers yet but with the barnes ttsx, barnes varmint, and winchester Silvertips I got one ragged hole out of it. I'm at work now but I can check back in later and give you my starting loads with it.

    There was 140 class 10 point killed about 50 yards from one of my stands this year. We also see some nice bears every year and bear season is in during deer rifle season.

    What state for big deer and good seasons?

    West Virginia has big deer in some counties. I hunt in state forest property and every year a buck comes out of the hollow I hunt in that goes between 130 and 150 inches. I just wish I could get enough people to hunt with me and sit in the four stands I have hung.
