Oh bull blaster, are you sure you seen that? You must be like me and haven't killed many animals? Grin
You guys who have used or do use these, compared to the 100 grain. What diference do you notice at given ranges? 100 yards? I would think the 55 would be lower at 100 to be on at 200. Anyway if you have tried them what did you notice about grouping? thanksCarl
i agree that the 243 has some serious killing power! i have seen what 55 grainers will do to big muleys and it is impressive. i shoot both 90 and 95 grainers from mine and it works killler... best way to see how different they will shoot is to try some out. if i had some 55 grainers i would send them your way to try.shootersproshop.com has some 55 grain ballistic tip varmint right now for a good deal...
geeeeeeez, I just wondered about personal experience with the two weight/same sighting. I have manuals/programs etc to read predicted trajectories. 100 -vs- 55, any change in sight settings? horizontal , vertical or both??thanks to you guys who have tried both in a 243.Carl
55gr to 500grs, dead is dead. For those with a little less trigger time in the real world on fur and hair. Speed kills, no and's, ifs, what's or but's. There isn't much in North America I wouldn't take on with a .223 Remington and mag or mag box full of 60gr Partitions. Holes kill chit, that's as simple as it gets. 10 holes from a .22 long rifle or 1 from a .450 Ultra Magnum. Dead is dead!It also all depends on the animal, I've dropped some quicker with a .243 and a 87gr Hornady than I have with a .300 Win Mag and a 180 Nosler. Same range, close to the same hit. Animals are no different than people. You can smack one guy on the chin and down he goes and the next mops the floor with your sorry hindend.

To include a dozen or so bears, 30+ deer, several elk with bullets 55 and up from the 243. Along with several bear and deer with the 22-250 and the Swift. And yes, spectacular kills all! But they were all carefully placed shots from and accurate gun and un aware animals. We have to disclaim to those new to the sport and shooting animals here on this site and others, that will read comments and believe this is the cure all for any animal they may begin to hunt. In the right hands, under the right conditions...yes, awesome round. But beginners will be better served with something with a little more forgiveness, so to speak, on maybe a less then perfect shot..rib bone hit, shoulder blade hit, sharp quartering shot, etc...as for unethical, that was to the comments of people that just fill the animal a lot of holes, just the same as a well place shot? No, it's not.....
