So I said what you got? I had just picked up a used M700 bdl in 243, he knew that. He said 200 rds of factory Remington 100 gr Corelokts, 200 (4 boxes) of 100 gr NPT's and $50 cash. Was all worth more than I had in that 16. So we traded. 40 years a go, still have some of the fac ammo and NPT's left, of course the cash disappears like water. Still killing whatever I shoot with it and all the handloads I've run thru that same bdl. A good friend swears by Federal Fusions and others can't find anything wrong with 100 gr fed blue box ammo. Don't know how you can do wrong with what's offered today , a bigger problem will be what's actually AVAILIBLE right now. MB


243 plentiful in my area, stange how that works.
