Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .243 - Shoulder shots or lung shots?

With that twist rate you have options from the 85grs to 105. For my son, I'm rolling 85 gr tsx's. If he gets nervous and hits bone, I want to make sure it gets to the vitals.

With the 2 bullets you asked about, especially the 85 gr HPBT, I would be a little cautious on the shoulder shot.
