My 30-06 loves Fusions so I am inclined to give them a try for the girl.  I checked and it does have a 1:10 twist.  I will have to get her a couple of boxes of 100 gr and 95 gr and see which one the gun favors.  Now the fun begins!!! (she is so excited that she keeps waking up and seeing if it is time to go yet, LOL!)
Thanks for all the replies!

Well you'll have to see what the gun likes first. My dads doesn't like anything over 85gr. Mine likes 95 noslers and they just came out with a accubond that would be worth a look

Nosler makes an Accubond in .243? I need to check that out!

PolarBear, Good luck shooting today, have fun!

My son's rifle is a 700 ADL .243

The first (and only) load I tried were Winchester's 100gr Power Points.

It'll fire 100yd 3 shot groups you can cover with a nickel.

Very impressive for cheap factory ammo.

i shoot the federal 95gr nosler ballistic tips out of mine, i have a 1:9 twist, i think they are vita shoks, come in a red box and have purple tips on the bullets. shoot great out of my rifle took two deer at 300 yards and a black bear last year. the 95gr's really work over a coyote and have a really good splatter effect on rock chucks and prairie dogs.
