    Hi there
    The 243 is a great calibre, I have owned two and they both collected game very efficiently. My current 243 is a TC Icon and is 1:10 twist, however shoots Sierra 100 gn Prohunters into 10mm consistently and is devastating on reds, sika, and fallow. I have an old box of Speer 105 gn RN which I have first up for bush hunting, and the mag full of Sierra 100's for longer shots. This system of loading works really well for hunting in bushy environments, and use the same process with my 284 with Hornady 154 RN for bush operations etc. The 243 is made for handloading with a large selection of projectiles to suit what ever game and range you are hunting, and generally are easy to load for. I see you are Manawatu, if you need some cases or projectiles to try let me know and we can have some fun.
    Cheers
    Ruger7mm
