[QUOTE="k8hvntn, post: 746929, member: 61282"] I love the 243 the more i shoot it the more i love it. If you told me i could only have one cal, 243 would be it. You will have no problem with deer with most any bullet 70 gr plus. I shot my last muly (south dakota) at 683 yrds with a 95 gr berger. ran 50 yrds and droped. Now your twist rate is the Q. if you have a 1:9 i would sugest 95's (sierras or berger. sierras are easier to tune) and both have a good bc of 480. put that at 3200 fps with h-100 or h4350 and they are both a great hunter but also competition bullet. In my ruger mk 2, rem 700 and both my buddies savages we are getting 1/4 groups at 100 and hold well to 1000. if your running a 1:10 a hornady 87 gr vmax is awsome and will tune in almost any 243. (in my experiance) I do shoot deer and have had no problem with them. awsome on coyotes, parrie dogs and ground hogs. the Interlock is a fabulous huntier. Holds together well. another thought is Fed blue box 80 or 100gr. they just shoot. dont know y but they do. Ive shot a tone of deer with them and most just drop in there tracks. good luck [/QUOTE]
