Out of the Ultra Varmint heavy barrel .243 what is some ideal and proven deer rounds?

Good luck!
Everyone seems pretty tight lipped on thios one. Not sure if there aren't any or what.

I have been trying to get more than one answer on powders to use for the 85gr, besides IMR4350.

I'm really hoping to get to use that 95 gr. Nos BT. I think Mac and quick have been working on some loads for their bull barrels with the heavier bullets. Maybe they'll post here soon. :wink:

well I get .75 to 1 inch groups with my .243 handi with standard barrel at 100 yrds. I use IMR 3031, 95 gr noslet BT spitzer with winchester primer. My rifle shot best with barrel free floated.

Sorry, I'm goin the other way with mine for yotes, I have 65gr Vmax and 55gr CT ballistic silvertip loads to work on. As soon as I get some of the Fusion 95gr ammo, I'll post the results, it's backordered right now.

So far for me...42.5 grains Reloader 22...Remington nickle cases...Remington 9-1/2 primers.Nosler 95grain Silver Ballistic Tip..COAL...2.777"..it's a max load .....what may be safe in my rifle may not be safe in yours....so reduce 5% and work up looking for pressure signs...
