A deer load for the .243 /field experience only not theory !
« on: February 16, 2006, 10:10:54 AM »
Would appreciate  knowing what deer loads you use, their accuracy and your experience. I've killed a lot of game with a 243 in the early 60's but I didn't keep any notes. Recently I shot a very heavy buck 253lbs with 45/1mr4350 and sierra BTHP game king.  the buck ran nearly 90 yds before pilling up. I could see him in the open. All my past ecperience was bang,flop on game. I even shot a 350 lb wild boar running througn the brush, at the shot he went head ovee heal died on the spot,the same with antelope and mule deer. I just can't remember the bullet I used. I think it was a 85 grn Nosler solid base HP. But Now I don't see any for sale. The have something with a tip on it. I just loaded one bullet for everything in my .243, varmits,game etc.
