243 reloading help

[ReloadKy]

DJudge, have you shot any deer with them yet? Was curious to on game performance.

An 80 grain bullet in a .243 will work just as good as a 100 grain for all practical deer hunting situations.

I like the 100gr soft point it does a very good job and has done for years There is some new out there that will do a good job like the Sierra SBT Gameking 100gr they are a accurate bullet. Good Luck

ReloadKY…. No, not yet just recently began exploring the capabilities both the .243 Win and 6.5 Grendel for an accurate light weight and light recoiling platform for use in the future by the grandchildren. Overall results by both rounds are very impressive so far and I began using SST's due to others comments and results of actual harvest on deer and hogs.

I reload for my wife's Ruger .243. I load 100 grain Hornady Inter lock over 34. Grains of IMR 4895. Very mild load that she has zero issues shooting, and will absolutely pound deer and punch through both shoulders. The load has never been bench rest accurate but she keeps her shots at 100 yards or less and is deadly.

I want to load that bullet but I need to push it a bit faster than that. Thinking RL17 because I have some. This is for a Coues deer hunt in central Arizona so cross-canyon shots are the norm.

I've taken a goodly number of antelope and mule deer with the Speer 100 Grain SPBT
