[QUOTE="CPorter, post: 95731, member: 4952"] Been shooting .243 for a long time. My favorite bullets are the Nosler Ballistic Tips and the Speer 70 gr TNT. Also had good results with the standard Remington CoreLokt. The ballistic tips will work for all the game you mentioned with proper shot placement for the bullet selected. The 55,70, & 80 grain ballistic tips are varmint bullets as is the Speer TNT. As such the are designed to blowup after passing through thin skin. Great for coyotes and the coues deer. Not sure about the javelina but think they will work fine since I use them on wild hogs. Good powders for .243 IMR 3031 IMR 4831/H4831SC IMR 4350/H4350 Varget N160 and several more I haven't tried yet My best loads so far for Rem 700 VLS (26" barrel 1:9,125 twist) are 55gr NBT, Rem brass, Fed210M primer, 37.2 gr IMR 3031, seat to 2.678" OAL ~3500fps 70 gr NBT, Rem brass, Fed210M primer, 45.7 gr IMR 4831, seat to 2.710 oal, ~3360 FPS reloading info for .243 [url="http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Track/9062/shooting/index.html"]http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Track/9062/shooting/index.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
