   Sidetrack liked post by John Duxbury On thread : 70 grain Speer and Benchmark 2 in .222

   The 70 grain Speers were designed to stablise in 1:14 twist barrels. I have used them in 14 twist Sako .222, BSA .222, 14 twist .22-250, and 1:12 twist .223, and they shoot very well in all of them....

   What other factory ammo can you get there? The Barnes 95g bullet is shooting for you. I have used the standard .243 a fair bit on red deer. The 90 grain Ballistic tip is a good bullet, and the...

   A fast .243 can make more damage than the .308 or a .303. Using the 90 grain BT or the 85 grain Sierra HP at 3180 fps, I shoot them the same place as I would a .30/06 without thinking about it...
