    Doesn't look like Hornady do the 100gr round nose any more @stagstalker... I tried to find some for myself. I suspect they've gone out of fashion, doesn't look like anyone does them. Shame, because in .243 in scrub and bush, they were the bizzo.

    Yes I've got a Sako Forester .243 that I bought in 1977 after reading Phillip Holden's books. Then I bought a Vixen .222. Both quality rifles that have lasted me through a lifetime of hunting

    I went with a 30-06 after reading Keith Severinsen books.
    Both writers were/are still good reading.

    I have been using the 90grain speer hotcor and the 87 grain hornady sp flatbase for years now, but have only tested them on large billy,s seem to work well.
