After this season anyone blaming bullet performance for lack of killing with a .243 is pretty much commenting on their marksmanship.

My dad who is a fairly poor shot filled both his tags this year with his 243 Marlin XS7 using his varmint grenade loads. One shot kills on both.

I do no recommend using varmint grenades on white tail, and my dad did have 95 gr ballistic tips loaded and ready to go. Why he thought the "hollow point" loads were his ticket is beyond me.....
