    That is because to many use 100gr pills in 243, going to slow compared to the 223 and 55gr pills, put 80gr pills in the 243 and its got more speed to shock the vitals better

    100gr pills bust through more legs bones if you hit them but if you don't they they pass through the lungs without blowing them to bits...too slow


    Well IMHO...
    Fishing ... Hunting its all good

    thats odd. I see alot more good kills from my 243 than I do from the 223, and I expect to.

    I also run 80gr in the 243. and 55gr in the 223
