Our family had been using this bullet for what seems like years. As long add I can remember. 20+.... I couldn't even to tell you how many deer these have killed out of our. 243s.
Well, it's hard to argue with that much experience, far more than mine to be honest.
My first trip for WY antelope was with a .243, was in the 70's, it was a gold standard. (It still is, but apparently the antelope these days need way more power). The Sierra's these days bounce off, shed their cores, etc. Not mine BTW.
For a shooter that doesn't feel the need for a bullet that can penetrate from the hind quarter through the front shoulder, ruining most of the meat to get the horns, the 85gr Sierra is one of the quickest deer/antelope killers out there.
