    Howa .243 Factory Ammo Recommendations

    Hi all, just asking if anyone here has a Howa .243 and can recommend a great FACTORY round. It has to be super accurate and also be effective on deer. Preferably using the standard s/s 20" barrel thanks.

    Hopefully this saves me some $ on testing different ammos cheers.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    I agree with Micky Duck. Feral blue box has shot well in every rifle and calibre I've used or seen it used in.

    Certainly a great place to start.
