[QUOTE="L Smith, post: 1667056, member: 108626"] great thread, my $0.02, ...as a disclaimer, I hunt for meat and punch paper to dial in hunting loads. My Dad built his first 243 in 1960 and the amount of deer and antelope taken can be measured in 'tons'. 100 gr Hornady soft point setting on top of almost a full case of IMR4831 was the staple load. I continue to use 243 for whitetails and antelope, and my 264 Win Mag for larger mule deer and longer shots. I think that the few FPS differences in the various .243 or 6mm calibers has not been noticed by the game that ended up on the table. As with any sport, it takes practice, practice, and practice to become proficient, whether it's punching one hole groups or hitting a running antelope on the next hill side. My 243 shoots about 1" groups with my pet load, but it always brings meat home. [/QUOTE]
