.243 55 grain

[Bofire]

  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? thanks

Hopefully you're not shooting at anything bigger then a coyote with 55gr.

Then you Sir would flat be shocked at what I would take on with a .243 and a 55gr pill.👍

Oh don't get me wrong. I hunt with my .243. I favor it over my .270 most situations. Just hard to find a good .55gr that performs to my standards. I shoot 80gr Barnes TTSX

To the original poster. Do you know your muzzle velocity and BC?

[Bofire]

I shoot and have shot tons of things with my 243 with 80 or 100 grain bullets, and love the gun, I have never tried the 55 grain and wondered about point of impact change. Of course for use on small game.
thanks

Do you have ballistic info for me to look at? It would help

[Jolten]

Looking at basic info on 55gr using a standard loading it looks like the 55gr rises to 100 faster

Did you even read the question?

That's a fact Landon. I've been down this road more than once on a forum, instead of arguing folks need to try em for themselves. I have a ould hunt bucks anytime anywhere with a 55 BT @ 4000. Perty similar results as my 257 Roy...

BTW, don't know the POI difference as I only shoot 55's outta my 2 243's. Try em , you'll love em!
