plain ol' 100 grain federal blue box. works and cheap at Walmart
Yeah, and its actually an excellent performer.
We have always hunted thick woods where 70 or 80 was a very long shot. Most shots have been 40 yards or so and quick. My personal longest was a lasered 65 yards.
Our family has killed around 20 deer with the 100 gr federal blue box. They have been from 70 +/- yards to 12 feet, and from 60 lb yearlings to a 130 lb buck at 12.feet. only bullet I have recovered, that I can remember from this load was a perfect mushroom that went through both shoulders and poking out the hide on the far side of the 130 lb buck.
Shooting this load in 5 or 6 243s, we have decided if the gun wont shoot it well it may not shoot anything well. We love the Federal 100 grain blue box ammo.
