Barnes TTSX 80 grain. Can thank Barnes later! This, if you are looking for lighter, faster, that will still bust both shoulders and keep trucking, or shoot rear to front if needed.

I know it'll start WW3 to say it but my daughter shoots a model 7 243 and she's shooting
55 gr Win. Silver tips in it. It's crazy effective and has performed DRT kills at 300yds on deer and 200+ pound hogs with neck/ front shoulder shots
That definitely falls in the lighter faster answer

Looking at the ballistics, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll pick up a box and see if they will shoot out of this gun.

I've piled a lot of them up with this bullet, wish they still loaded it in 6mm Rem. Love this bullet. Killed 90ish% of my deer with it. Well... the 100grain btsp . I’m assuming that’s the same As the whitetail version

95 gr hornady sst, they do insane amount of internal damage. Don't leave a very good blood trail but they usually fall in sight.

Barnes TTSX 80 grain. Can thank Barnes later! My daughters Model 7 loves these. Ended up buying a box and taking it to the range today. Pretty pleased with them. Not quite as tight of groups as the fusions, but still sub moa. At 200 I've got it shooting 2" high, at 300 it's only about 2-3" low. Should be handy for road beds and such. Plus, I forgot how much of a pleasure that gun is to handle vs some of my heavier ones.

Is this the M7 Compact with the 18.5" barrel?

That definitely falls in the lighter faster answer I've shot a LOT of these in 95gr and it's an unbelievably devastating round.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Zeroed the kids’ in yesterday with the fusion. Cutting holes at 100yds. My 308 hates fusion but I guess this .243 loves them.
