What load do you use.Always had good luck with my old 243 win. with 100 gr hornady interlock,100 gr sierra game king,87 gr hornady bthp. I have been playin around with the wssm thiss summer with 90 and 95gr nosler bt and 95gr hornady sst, and also the 95 and 105 berger classic hunting bthp.All seem to group real well out to 325yrds and was just wondering which one is gonna have the best killing ability.

Should be a shooting machine. The best load will be the one you can confidently place in the kill zone. Good Luck!

I 'm sure the caliber is fine but I would want a bullet that would stay together.

I shot three deer with one last year. I shot a nice ten through the heart at 150 yards with the Winchester BT. I think they were 95 grains. Deer ran 100 yards with no blood trail. He was in the pasture so it was no big deal. Shot two big does with the Winchester power points and one dropped in her tracks at 125 yards. Other doe was shot through the lungs at 275 and ran about 70 yards. Did not bleed a drop until 20 yards before it piled up. I sold the gun after deer season. The bolt was bad sticky after each shot with either factory round I used. It was a cool little gun though. It was a abolt. I'm back to the 300 mag this year.

I would try the 80gr Barnes TTSX, they shoot good out of my .243 Ackley and they have worked great on deer out to 475yds.I have also used the Berger 105gr with good results.
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.

I tried the 105 berger vld.Dont think it has enough twist had 3 out of 5 hit the target at 100 and they were almost completely sideways.I had them loaded in the mide range for safety sake.Love them in my old 243 win though with 1in9 twist.Guessing my wssm is a 1-10.Havent been able to find much info on it.It loves everything under the 100gr mark.A tac driver actually.Shot a 4 inch 5shot group at 325 withe 95 gr classic hunting berger.I believe i found it to be a coyote model 70 win????Any help on the twist

Another vote for the tsx. Bad little bullet on deer.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
