Hornady .243 100gn BTSP Interlock

[MOO1072]

I am considering trying out the Hornday .243 100gn Interlock BTSP for thin skinned game such as hogs and deer. Has anyone used this bullet, did they find it accurate, and what were the terminal effects like?

I have shot them in a 15" encore and they were accurate. not sure about performance on game, didnt shoot a deer with that gun this year

I've been shooting deer and antelope w/ that bullet ever since it was introduced. Can't complain about the performance or the accuracy.

I have a Ruger UltraLite 243 that I use as a truck gun. I shoot the Hornady 100gr IL in it. It's taken everything from crows to deer with no complaints on my part.

Been using that bullet in an 18 1/2" bbl Rem. 600 6mm Rem. for decades. Shoots moa and has taken multiple deer out to 250 yards.

No issues and always pleased with both expansion and penetration.

Thanks for the replies. I am planning on powering the bullet with H4350. Any suggested recipies?

39grs of H4350 gives me 2800fps from my 20in barrel, and holds 1moa out to 300yds. (Furthest I've shot it)

Use H414 in my 18 1/2" bbl. Getting 2,825fps with 41 grains.
