With 243 Winchester bullet construction is very important for quickly dropping game. If the bullets are a little hard the game can really run. Bullets matter in all cases, but particularly for cartridges that are conventionally used across game categories, such as varmints and big game, it pays to mind bullet selection.

Why would you use seconds for hunting? Practice, yes, hunting no! Bullets are the cheapest component of a hunt and just about the most important! You obviously know nothing about Nosler "seconds." They are not rated as "seconds" because they're defective. Instead they have cosmetic blemishes, which are detected by slowly rolling the bullets under a magnifying glass and a powerful light. They come from the same manufacturing of bullets as Nosler "firsts," which have already been tested in ballistic gel for expansion and penetration. I have used a bunch of Nosler Partition seconds over the decades, in various calibers and weight, and almost all the time I cannot see any blemishes with my bare eyes. The only exception was a batch of 200-grain .30 caliber Partitions that had some discoloration--but they still grouped just as accurately as "firsts" of the same caliber and weight, and expanded and penetrated just as well--as have all other Nosler seconds I've used. The ONLY difference is the discount in price.

Anyone who has issues with the 243 killing quickly and cleanly need only find a mirror for the explanation.

The .243 winchester is the most versatile, do all cartridge for anything under 250 pounds inside 300 yards. You can push a 55 grain bullet past a 22-250 and a 100 grain bullet close to 25-06 velocities. For coyotes, antelope, all species of deer it will do it all. Screw a 1:8 twist on it, load up some 105s, and it becomes a whole different animal.

Bullets matter in all cases, but particularly for cartridges that are conventionally used across game categories, such as varmints and big game, it pays to mind bullet selection. Yep. Most think they need a railroad spike tough bullet for deer which leads to threads like this. Give me a semi soft bullet that opens quick, fast and in a hurry but gets through the vitals. I have killed more deer with a 243 or 6mm loaded with an 85 grain Sierra SP than I have with heavier "deer" suitable bullets and have had no issues at all. The heavier "tougher" bullets lead to deer making tracks easier, no thanks. Most deer will die on the spot or go less than 50 yards. If you want a 100 grain bullet that knocks their dicks in in the dirt get a 100 grain Gameking or Speer BTSP.
