Bullet selection .243

The Nosler 100 grain Partition is also a great bullet with H4350.

I just bought some factory seconds from midway. They are 103gr ELDX and behind every test load I shot they were all right at or under 1 moa.

The bullet on the right is an 85 gr. Nosler from 1988, (if I remember correctly). 3-point mulie never knew what happened! The bullet was not used on an elk. An old picture used originally for another forum.

The 80 gr. BTs are classed as Varmint by Nos

Yea and as the original poster I still keep an eye on it to see what's posted. I may move away from the .243 that I have as it prints about 4" at 50yds. It a Remington 770 but I do have a Armalite AR-10 in .243.

4 inches at 50 yards says it might be time for a new barrel.

Never has shot well. It was free and it's took a few deer.

Just as an update, my daughter shot a spike with the Armalite AR10 using an 80gr Nosler BT at about 50yds give or take and he was DRT. It never exited and I actually never seen the entry hole. I'm glad it dropped because there was no blood on the outside anywhere. Maybe at longer distances it would have held together for an exit.
