Was looking to buy brass when Shooters Pro Shop sent an email stating they had .243 WIN 90 gr Etips (Blem) on sale for 16.95 a box!

Ordered 5 boxes to use for this year and will start reloading using the Nosler brass.

This x2 is what I'm loading. I stocked up on 95 grain partitions way back when the 100 grainer was a sort of semi spitzer. I have not found a 100 gr. bullet that was not a go for the 243 but this is one time that I recommend a premium bullet for deer hunting. The sub 6mm calibers will do fine most of the time except when they don't so in smaller calibers the added assurance of a premium bullet is nice to have.
