[QUOTE="motown, post: 975807, member: 49799"] I have used the 243 for quite a few years in the PA woods and it is a great round. In this state i would stay away from the Berger VLD's. They are a great bullet but alot of shots that present themselves in PA can be within 25-150 yards and if you get a close shot I am not sure how well these would hold together. I am a huge fan of the sierra 85 gr hpbt gameking and have killed alot of deer with them over the years and never lost one and never really had one run further than 60 yards after being hit. I would stay away from should shots with this bullet though. It is constructed pretty strong but is still a hollow point bullet and you just never know. I started using the 90 grain accubonds last year and was really impressed! The bullet shoots great out of my tikka t3 around 1/2"-3/4" at 100 yards and 1.25" at 200 yards. I only had the opportunity to take one doe with it last year and it was a 80 yard shot and I hit her right and the shoulder and she dropped quick! The bullet penetrated both shoulders and exited leaving a half dollar size hole. This bullet is now more readily available online if you are looking to try a box. [/QUOTE]
