Shot a buck sunday with 243 100 grain rem corelokt. Was a perfect shot and he was very close but the bullet never exited. He did only go 40 yards and it was a decent blood trail

I just bought my son a .243 and we use the Fusions 95g bullet. He shot a spike Saturday at 100+ yards and I thought he missed because the spike never flinched for about 20s and then just fell over dead. I ALMOST bought the Barnes ttsx in the 85g the other day but i didn't know how much it would effect the accurancy so i sat them back down.

My daughter shot one with the American Whitetail (I think they use Interlock bullets) and it dropped in it's tracks. I gut the bullet out from under the skin on the opposite side.

The only ballistic tip bullet in .243 that I ever used is the Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertip in 95gr. It's absolutely devastating to the innards of a deer.

Been using the Barnes 85 gr TSX over RL-19 in my 243 for years. Very accurate, always an exit wound, and work really well. No complaints about them.
