    85 grain Hornady interbond.
    Works from any angle if you know your anatomy.
    Overkill is still dead.

    Had to chuckle, 7mmWSM & 7mmSAUM debating the merits of the humble 243. Hey, but we can all enjoy different calibres.

    My favourite bullet by far for the 243. My seven year old boy took his first deer last weekend at 288m with that very projectile. I hope they start making/importing them again.

    Is that the old school Hornady 87gr that is now apparently a varment bullet? Think it's production number is 2440.
    Probably isn't as I don't remember it being called an interlock

    Nope, different one again being the interbond. Hornadys version of an accubond if I’m not mistaken.

    I believe it was something to do with the fact that the cx copper mono's fill the same niche and were by Hornandy's standards a "better bullet" (higher bc easier to manufacture etc) I seem to recall something along those lines being mentioned in one of the podcasts above cx bullets.
    Could be wrong but that's my vague recollection.
