I shoot a 100 grain partition in mine with 42 grains of IMR4350. My wife shoots 90 grain Accubonds in her 243 with 44 grains of IMR4350.

85 grain Sierra SP Varminter, not the BTHP. BTHP too tough for my liking.

100 grain Sierra Gameking or a Nosler 95 grain Partition.

Not really a nickles difference in the 3.

My next kill with my 6mm will be with a 90 grain Ballistic Tip.

Lots of good advice already.

For me, I’ve had success with the following:
95 gr NBT - this is one tough bullet and “hog approved” also.
100 gr Interlock
100 gr Sierra Gameking

I couldn’t get the 80 gr TTSX to shoot worth a darn, and given the prices/ perceived performance improvement vs the others I abandoned future attempts to make these work.

You guys that use interlocks, flat base or boat tails?

Does it make a difference?

I ask because both are readily available. I've had good luck with flat base interlocks in my 308.

They don’t make a 100gr flat base in .243 anymore.

With that said, I’ve had better accuracy luck with flat base than boat tail in 30-06, but only marginally. Also .277 130 flat base shoot great and not available in bt in 130 gr, but in 140 gr.
