Dadgummit. This thread got me wanting a .243. I had one and it just kept going through my mind, "If on some chance, Mr. Big steps out, would it be enough?" Mr. Big never steps out for me, but I went to .308 not too long after.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

30-30 will kill any thing in North America you will encounter as long as range is limited to 150-200 yds. Moose and elk I'd keep it under 100.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

Ive had good luck with the 95gr hornady sst. Same. I shoot the tikka as well and although I haven't found a bullet the gun dislikes (Core-Lokt, Fusions, Hornady SST), it seems to like the Hornady best. Don't get into the shoulder if you want a pass through, though.

Maybe Brent M will come along and post some of his 85gr TTSX kills. It's impressive to say the least.

The 95 grain Winchester ballistic tip has been bomb proof for my family over the years. From 50-350 it is deadly. I'm sure there are better bullets out there, but those Winchesters have been around for a while for good reason.
