I dont shoot one - and i dont hav anything against em - but my kid may use 243 this weekend so - whats the best 243 bullet? He usually goes w me 1-2 times a year - he not big hunter - but now he may go w a friend. I usually just let him use my gun and we sit together - but i gone let him take 243 and go w a buddy. I am out of 243 bullets

What is best 243 bullet ?

I’ve killed several dozen with 100 grain Remington Cor-lokt.

I have used 100gr Cor-lokt and 95gr Fed Fusion.

Add the number me and my family have killed with them to Matt’s and it is more than most people will ever kill.

😀 thanks guys

Same here 👍🏼

My niece used 100 grain core-lokts for several years. No problems.

Do you know what make and model the gun is?

Hornady 87 grain sst is tough on deer 100% shot/recovery rate on close to 30 over the last few yrs

Ruger American bolt action

We shoot 100 gr Norma whitetail out of my son’s.

Handloads using Nosler 95 gr Ballistic Tips, Barnes 80 gr TTSX and B5 gr TSX have both performed excellent on deer!

Remington cor lokt 100 grain

Barnes 80gr ttsx

When are we going to stop having these Creedmoor threads ?

I bought my sons a youth model 700 in .243 and we shot Remington 100 grain Core Lokt because back in the day, they were cheap and plentiful. I was going through their hunting bag the other day and found a full box tucked in the bottom.

95gr winchester deer XP is what My girls use in their .243 with some deadly success.

I know a core-lokt will kill a deer, but the Barnes TTSX or Berger VLD will kill them deader

Prove it!😝
