Thread: 243 ammo advice

I had a good run with 95 grn Targex too, until I had this blow up on a Tahr. This is the entry.

Looks dead?

Only because I ran it down and strangled it with my bare hands.

That is awesome. Cavemen styles.

They put stuff down in a hurry and are accurate for some long range critter busting.
@Double Shot is gonna wax on about the Sierra 85 hpbt too.... a lot of folks swear by them in the states and on hunt fish

Turn it up mate, give us a call this weekend...

Why do you reckon that blew up mate? Is that high on the shoulder/spine area?

Yeah. It was going up hill and away, about 250 yards. Hit it slightly off centre between the shoulder blades and I think the projectile found the spine/ribs too hard.
They had always been fine side on with shoulder and lung shots, but seldom exited. They behave a lot like AMax.

A better pic.

Cool man. I have only used them a little but find them really accurate and solid on lung/heart shots. Well priced too really considering They've got a decent BC.

Yeah. They are all good reasons to keep using them.

1+ for the 95gr targex I get consistant accuracy 5 shot .5" groups. have only shot a couple of deer and chamois so far but am happy with them.
