It's been a lot of years since I've hunted with factory ammo. In fact almost as many since I even shot factory ammo. That said I tend to try new product's based on what many people have to say about them. Took a lot of years just to try Reloader rifle powder and still have only tried 19 and 22! Then I pretty much stay the course forever more. If I was to use factory ammo for deer hunting in a 243, it would be 100gr Core Locks hands down. That is not to say there is not ammo out there as dependable as Core Locks but I don't see much of anything getting the reviews they get after a heck of a lot of years.
