6.8SPC vs the .243 on yotes... - 12/03/11
anyone done much yote hunting while using the 6.8SPC?
looking for comparisons on terminal performance of the lightweight 6-8 bullets as compared to lightweights from the .243, from anyone that may have used both. i usually shoot 68/75grains in the .243.
noticed in terms of pure KE, ballistic tables say not a helluva lot of difference, but was unsure about the expansion characteristics of the light 6.8's.
i ended up with a pair of light bolt guns in both .243 and 6.8.... been toying with using the .243 as a donor to build a light .250AI that will see mostly deer use.
any success...or failure...reports from 6.8 users?
