Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting First Year with 243

As a recovered "243 is too light for deer" 243 shooter I have used a lot of bullets over the last several years and all have worked well.... They include...

80 gr ttsx
90 gr NBT
95 gr NBT
95 gr SST
95 gr NPT
100 gr Hornady BTSP
100 gr NPT
100 gr Sierra Pro Hunter

My fav is the 95 gr NBT. Works great from any angle and very easy to make shoot well. R-23, R-26 and either 4831 have been my goto's. Just like Keith i get 3150-3200 with 26 and about 75 fps slower with 23. The 4831's both run around 2950-3000. Go forth and kill stuff... it works...
