.243 Bullets

I'm using the Nosler BTs at 75 grain for my Varmint load in my .243 and the 100 grain Partition as my deer load. I'm getting excellent accuracy with both.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

I use Sierra 85 grain HPBT bullets over 37.5 grains of RE-15, and BR-2 primers. This particular load has proven to be extremely accurate in my .243 NEF.
If at first you don't succeed, by all means try again. But if this doesn't work, give up, because there is no sense in making a darn fool of yourself.
