anyone regular use these bullets in say a 243 with success on deer and antelope...
making a good accurate load currently for a 243, and wondering how reliable they are for deer sized game...
it is definitely an accurate bullet with the right load...

The 85g Speer BTSP is tougher and higher BC.
I killed antelope with both the 87g Hornady and the 85g Speer SpBT, doesn't take much. On deer, the 95g Partition is still a bullet to be reckoned with along with the 100g Hornady BTSp.
R#17 may rule the day with bullets of this weight.
Good luck!

I have a 244 AI that has taken hundreds of deer with the hornady 87 spire point.The 1-12 twist doesnt allow for heavier bullets.

I use the Hornady 87 gr BTHP in my 6mm and it is deadly on Whitetail

it is definitely an accurate bullet with the right load... It is a very good bullet. I used it for years in both .243's and a .240 Weatherby. JW
