Thread: .243 powder

dunno, @ebf's got my chrony at the mo .. will be interesting to see the POI out at 200.

Remember though, they are not magic. A little bit on the fragile side so I wouldn’t try a big stag on the point of the shoulder. Neck or lungs on those chaps.
I’m a little bit careful where I place the bullet with them (95grn) on bigger deer and Tahr. Treat them like you would an AMax.

Bryn makes 2 sorts of 105 grn in 243. One is designed to stabilize in 1:10, the other won’t. Check with him.

Targex have Berger jackets, and they perform very much like the Berger VLD hunting. I’ve used them in .243 on many deer and Tahr and am very impressed. Expect some blood shock and meat damage if you shoulder shoot.

The 69 grn works well in my .223 too, and I’ve shot deer out to 290 yards with them.

What would you say is your max reliable put down range on Tahr using this load? Busy researching to make up my own loads
