Thanks for all the imput on a beater .243 : what I got !

[Country Boy]

A Stevens 200 in .243          269.95
   Simmons Master prohunter     99.00
    Weaver bases and Rings        27.00
    Web carry strap                      9.95
     It' the best I could do for a cheap gun in this neck of the woods. Now this is not my go to rifle for deer . I have a dandy Browning for that. It will ride in the truck. Now still the perplexing load question: I ONLY HAVEthe following to work with.one can of imr 4350, Nosler 95grn ballistic tip,Hornady 100grn interlock Speer .85grn spbt and Sierra gameking 85.grn bthp. I like to send them down range as fast as possible. I used to use nosler .85solidbase hp  . I know nothing about the 95 grn balistic tip for deer size game. One more thing, my old reload books give heavier charges and higher vel with imr 4350. I coronographed some Sierras last summer 45/4350/85grn gamekingbt hp vel av. 3337 in a 22" bbl    Ma
    Many thanks to all of you who have put up with my questions, I reall appreciate it.

I put together a Rem 700 for my daughter in 243 and I shoot 42 gr H4350 with a 100 gr Hornady interlok at 3023fps. with moa accuracy. she got two deer with it this year. were both happy with it.

I have a lee dipper that holds 44.5 grains of IMR 4350 and loaded under 80 grain Remington PSP's it beats MOA every time. My 243 is not my main hunting rifle but last season it took a huge coon and a doe easily with that load.  My rifle is a Remington 700 ADL I got on closeout for exactly what you paid for your rifle.
