[QUOTE="smokehanger, post: 1884126, member: 75902"] I will throw this out, in the 70s I ran out of 100 grain spritzer boat tails and wanted to shoot some deer with a .243. The only thing that I had loaded at the time were some Hornady 87 grain boat tail hollow points for coyotes. All of my friends told me that they would not be a good deer bullet. I ignored all of that advise and went hunting with them anyway. Would hate to guess how many deer and antelope my family have taken with this bullet. NOTE: bullet placement is very crucial!!! I can only think of one big whitetail that was lost due to poor shot placement. We have several .243s and a couple 6mms. Accuracy is great at all the ranges that we have shot deer and antelope at, out to 430 yds, they typically run less the 30 yds, lots drop in their tracks. [/QUOTE]
