[QUOTE="tbeasley, post: 971100, member: 6977"] Zack In my opinion, .243 is great for 300yd shots with the right equipment. One thing particular that stuck out to me is the bullet of choice. For me, in a .243, 6XC, 6 Comp Match, I would use strictly a Berger bullet at anything past 200. The 105gr and 95gr bullets from Berger (Hunting bullet) work great for match shooting and game getting. One BIG issue with .243 and a 105gr Bullet combo is that it usually leaves you single loading/single shot style due to long bullets. (Hence the reason I went to 6XC, best of both worlds) .243 shoots great with a variety of powders, but I'd look at using a sleeker bullet in that rifle. Maybe the Marlin rifle isn't up to the task of 300yd shots... A lot of variable with stock rifles. [/QUOTE]
