So I’m just getting into the 243 scene and got a question my bullet choices are limited to lead free as you guessed it I’m in comiefornia with a 80 grain cx by hornady I’m guessing from what I’m reading is to hit them high in the shoulder and not in the boiler room uh? Now understand this is for my wife who is real gun shy hence the 243. as to why I’m asking traditionally I put them in the boiler room but I’m using .30 bore rifles ie 06 308 and 300 savage so destruction is more than adequate. Most of my hunting is in deep heavily wooded and steep terrain. And most shots won’t be more that 250 yards. Most have been real up close less that 50 yards. Anyhow what’s y’all’s thoughts high shoulder with the cx or boiler room?
