this would be a good choice.

a .243 is one of those rounds where it either works or it dosen't, it throws a light bullet not very fast, which dosen't mean a big stopper

the use of a barnes X bullet, which i am not a fan of in bigger calibers, would be a good choice, as would a TSX from what I hear.

I've seen probably a dozen deer get dropped with a .243. a few ran off like they wern't even hit, a few ran off but died within 30 or so yards and none of them dropped, but most had a good blood trail. best one was with a .243 loaded with 100 grain partitions.

My boy uses Federal Premium 100gr with Nosler partitions....drops every day, including a 225 pound Axis buck. DRT

Federal 100gr Sierra Gameking, also used the 95gr Fusion last year with great results.

I love Hornady 95 gr Superformance in my .243. Leaves a massive wound channel. Contrarily I despised Remington Core-lokt. They just seem to have terrible terminal ballistics. Just my two pennies.

That's why the .300wsm or .25-06 goto the stand with me.

i use 90 grn. swift bullets drop in there tracks,, but they do drop quicker when i hit em with my 25-06

Hornaday Super Preformance 95 Gr. SST.. Just like Inky Doc..

as a few others have stated, any 80 to 100 grain load as long as the gun likes it! My kimber montana loves the fusion!
