An update on this 243........

I mounted a 3x9 Leupold and as suggested by several tried four factory 95 - 100 grain loads, 2 Federal, one Winchester and one Hornady. The 100 grain Hornady Whitetail was the best by far in this rifle with several 3 shot groups at 1/2 inch, some slightly less. And this from a $279 Savage Axis rifle! Performed well in the field also. One shot at just under 250 yards.

Those who call magazines "clips" and cartridges "bullets" ought not to be taken seriously. Jeff Cooper.
We might add those who call bullets "boolits.
