Ackley Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) im currently shooting 58gr vmax thru my .243, i need a suitable bullet for roe, something with a bit less expansion. nothing to heavy mind 100gr dont shoot well in my gun. im reloading so i only need bullets. I reload an 87gr Hornady boat tail,hollow point for a mate of mine,he swears by then and has account for over 1000 deer over the years Im used them years ago and they do work well,you can aslo look at 80gr Bergers there a great accurate bullet I use them for foxing and long range vermin,they would be fine on Roe I have 5 rifles I have reloaded for running on the 80 Bergers,you wont go wrong with them Edited January 15, 2012 by Ackley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockercas Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Replied. I want to see your gun anyway so when you pick it up come for a play. I'll print some targets off. And get some chalk for some longer range stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 95gr Hornady SST worked very well in my last 243, will be trying them in the new one when it's back from the gunsmith. Expansion was modest but predictable, grouping excellent, BC OK - all deer nicely dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Norma 75g Vmax are great for Roe and smaller deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
