Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting .243 Win. and whitetail deer ???

15 years ago, an old friend had 12 head of elk antlers on his den wall - all shot with his Sako L579 rifle and the 85gr BTHP. Oh, and something north of 100 deer from the same round. I wonder what he's up to now.

All the same, my favorite is the 95gr Ballistic Tip and whatever powder you have to get it to 3000 fps. Over the years, it has won some great recommendations from people with far more experience than I have.
