Hello everybody. Picked up a 7600 in 243 (no such thing as too many pump rifles) lookin for some recommendations on a bullet for deer and possibly a bear if it walks by. A 200 pound buck is common where I hunt; I picked up a box of 100 grain sierra pro hunters cause I'm impatient and wanted to shoot it RIGHT NOW! They may be the cats pajamas I don't know never shot anything with them.
What would you fellers suggest for bullets? Personal experience is a plus and PICTURES is 10 points extra all day long. I've come up with a fairly short list of bullets I think would be good but feel free to chime in. Here's the list. 100 grain Speer grand slam, 95 grain ballistic tip, 100 grain pro hunter, 90 grain hot core, 90 grain scirocco 2 (credit score dropped just sayin that), Hornady CX in whatever grain it is these days (80? 85?) Barnes 85 grain ttsx.
I'm lookin for the best chance of a exit wound as possible but make no mistake I'm far more willing than most others would admit to absolutely mag dump into that deer or bear cause I don't negotiate with terrorists!
I'm sort of open to using a partition. Absolutely not open to using a accubond! Used one last year out of a 308 (don't ask)
Aaaaand GO!
