[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 1956255, member: 1403"] I'm sure glad a buddy of mine told me to try the Hornady 105g BTHPs He said he had good luck with them in a 10" twist 243 so it was worth a shot...I completely forgot about them, I think it's because they arent a real sexy bullet. But the BC is basically the same as the 108g ELDM. At 3300fps it's still pretty impressive. Still has 1000# energy at 800 yards and traveling 2000fps. More than enough for coyotes/antelope/deer. I'll have to play with the depth after I find the charge it likes. I always start my development at .010" off, that way I know the only way is deeper if they dont shoot to my satisfaction. I usually just try for consistent 1/2 MOA, but if its only 3/4 I can still live with that. I think it has potential to do 1/2 MOA with some load development and tinkering though.
