My brother is looking for a goat load in .243 I have a good load with bm2 with the Sierra 70 grain blitzking. This should be doing about 3300 minimum has anyone used this bullet for goats?
Thanks

I'm in the process of putting together two loads for 243 specifically for goats and deer:
55gn Blitzking
58gn VMax
The VMax in particular is looking pretty accurate .. Cloverleaf at 100 yards ...
The speed testing didnt happen due to the late hour and the sun being too low .. but I'm expecting 3500fps min.
If you're interested in these let me know and I'm send publish the finished loads once I've finished testing and refining.

I have used 65gn V-Max in the .243 for goats and wallabies. Works better on wallabies than goats.
At closer ranges on big billies they can be abit average as they just explode with little penetration at the higher velocity,at longer ranges(150-200+) they start to work better.
Good fun though. good on rabbits and hares as well haha.
