the best 243 win bullet

[Ringbill27]

This right here is the problem. I have met many of these types of “hunters”… totally half assed approach. Cheap rifle, crap scope, crap rings, cheapest ammo (sometimes different types at once), “zero” the rifle on a paper plate with a couple of shots while leaning over the hood of the truck, no practice, etc etc…

This is a people problem, not a 243 problem, and honestly an embarrassment to the hunting/firearms community and totally unethical/irresponsible behavior.

Your experience is based on the worst of circumstances and behavior; garbage in- garbage out.

I’m with you here. I believe a good shooter can still shoot a cheap rifle better than the person to described above. Most rifles can out perform the shooter.

I dropped to 243 and shot a 150# class deer with it. 100 gr partition. 50 yds. Drt. Was like “cool”.

Prior one for me was a 300# mule deer 220 yards, federal blue box 100 gr. 6 inch penetration on high shoulder shot, never even fell over. 2nd shot behind shoulder dropped it and was found under skin. Still got up and run when i walked up to it. Shot it again. Thing was freaking huge.

That’s all 243 experience i got. Like the gun, shoots nice, no recoil, just got these little bullets.

Seen others shot w 243 and helped track em. Not a premier caliber. 350 Legend is better if inside say 200 yds. Makes a big leaky hole and tyically has enough weight to punch thru.
