Thoughts on these? After a packet to resight my 243 with. a lot more around that when I used it years ago. Stabilise you think? Might be able to get a packet or 2 at a reasonable price if they are still available.

Also Flyblown considering your thoughts on the soft point blowing up being the most effective what about the Browning BXR line. That's what they are designed to do yeah?
I wont be reloading anytime soon for this so keep that in mind. any suggestions factory ammo only

Unfortunately I don't know anything about either of those @csmiffy.

I've heard of the Geco but no experience sorry. Looking at a picture I expect they are quite short and should stabilise ok and be accurate enough for hunting. A proper review has them grouping 1 - 1.5MOA, good enough inside 250m for chest shots. Look to be pretty good value.

The Browning BXR is completely new to me and now I'm interested in knowing more about it!

@Flyblown 250 to 300 is a long way to me so they might be worth a shot if still available.
The browning BXR and Winchester deer season xp although different are built with exactly the same design brief. Dump majority amount of energy quickly but penetrate enough to damage things.
Sounds like ammo you'd be interested in playing with?
