Well after a long break for health issues and doing the dance with the VA my dads got the hunting bug again. I just strapped a scope on a .243 to bring up to him on Tuesday for him to hunt whitetails around his property with. He'll be shooting 50-100 yds for the most part with maybe an odd poke out to 250 or so. Here's what I got and where I need help-
22" 10 twist barrel
I have some 86gr e tips and 95gr sst on the shelf.
I have multiple powders, sounds like imr4350 or win760 are the popular choices?
I only load a 243 real light for my kids and have no real world experience loading one or with the e tips. Which would you use for short range whitetails and any load advice would be greatly appreciated! If they're both terrible choices I can grab some accubonds or similar in the morning but I'd like to burn up what I have if they'll do. Thanks
