Thread: 243 on deer

From a 243AI I was shooting 95g Partitions and 105g A-max. The A-max was a surprisingly good bullet. Having minimal recoil made it a comfortable rifle to use so was often first pick out the safe. I'd like to get another 6mm but maybe a 6x47L. Still nothing at all wrong with the 243Win and there's a good reason it's often suggested as a good first or even only rifle to get.

I’d be keen on a 6br before the x47L

I have all the 6 and 7 mm BR dies and brass here

Go for the 6 x 47 Lapua if you want a ridiculously accurate cartridge, there is definitely something about the 6.5 x 47 Lapua case it make Creedmoor's look decidedly muh in the accuracy department
