    funny thing with the .243/EBRG if you talk to the old pros who used them....MOST of them will tell you same thing,use bog std 100grn pills and shoot for shoulder bones.....without hitting bone the projectiles dont expand/transpher energy as well.....they are nearly all super accurate so would seem head/neck be best option but the old hands say otherwise.....
    there was large following using 87grn hornadies for sika etc.... lighter/faster and more expandy.... these days the list of choices is endless..... once I tried barnes in .223 the thought came to mind how wicked they would be in EBRG in the lighter weights... something 70ish grns fair honking along would be a mean sort of deer slaying pill one would think.
