[rasbo]

which 243 bullit would be less expanding.that can be purchased off the shelf...Im thinking about trying my wifes 243 on some bobs.my 270 will leave a hole the size of a quarter out the back of the head.with the corelokt,same as the 140 accubond.the 22 mag is still gonna be my go to round,but if im hunting during  coug season I want to stay legal

Rasbo, any full metal jacketed bullet should do fine.  If you do some searching on the internet, they should be easy to find.  I will let you know if I find anything that fits the bill.

I have a 243 and I always thought if I were to use it on coyotes and/or bobcats, I'd use the 85 grain Barnes tsx.

I don't know if you reload or not but hornady makes an 80gr fmj but don't make over the counter cartridges.  I kinda poked around for a fmj 243 round off the shelf and couldn't find anything so I just bought some bullets and reloaded them.

Nice thing about using the Barnes is they would still be legal for deer if you ever had to use it for that purpose.

[rasbo]

well I dont reload.so off the shelf factory...it will be her gun its the youth model
