One more thought on bullet selection ...
Yeah ... I'm not sold on solid copper ... but I do like a bullet that won't totally blow up on impact and that will retain most of it's weight by the time it's done.
I wonder about standard grade projectiles at the sort of impact velocities that a 243 can produce (> 3000 fps). My view is that they tend to fragment at those sort of speeds and thats really bad for hunting.
Nosler says their Partion bullets are good from 1800fps -- unlimited.
That may be a little hyped up. But, I'm certain they'll hold up for the 243 win.
