[QUOTE="1idCat, post: 2356560, member: 13081"] I've been trying to make this work in my Rem700 Varmint 1 in 10" 243 for several years now. I shoot at about 4800 feet altitude out beyond 1000 yards. 100s, 95s work OK out to about 800 yards, but fall apart (tumble) beyond that. I use 2x4s to support steel targets and often find the 243s keyholed in the 2x4s past 800. If you are intent on using your 1/10 243 for long range, try a good bullet in the 85 - 90 gr. range, don't worry about BC, and keep it as fast as is possible with accuracy. Myself, I've given up and decided to rebarrel the 243 in a 1/7.5 remage and use something like the Berger 109s for long distance (if they ever become available again). [/QUOTE]
