Browning A-Bolt II .243 - 11/04/12
I bought a Browning A-Bolt II .243 rifle and have been shooting it a little with Remington 100 grain Core-Lokt factory ammo. It was grouping around 2" and I also noticed it looked like the bullets were not impacting straight on or keyholing just a little.
The twist rate is 1:10 and I am thinking maybe this rifle won't shoot 100 grainers; I intended to use it for deer hunting so I am a little concerned that the twist rate is going to be too slow. I haven't gotten around to other brands of factory ammo or lower bullet weights yet.
Do any of you have experience with the Browning A-Bolt II .243 for deer weight bullets in factory loadings? What are you using for your Browning .243's for deer?
