Thread: Short barrel .243 tips

I have an 18" barrel on my .243 and have shot about 70 deer in the last 5 months with it. 2/3s of them have been over 300 yards with 10 or so being over 500.
Yet to lose one and many of them have dropped on the spot and the ones that haven't have not made it more than 20 yards.
Getting 2880 fps with 105gr targex and reloder 26. Absolutely hammer deer.
Unfortunately they mightn't stabilise unless you have a faster twist. 95gr sst work well enough though.
