So my 243 shoots 85 grain speer spitzer boat tails best. I have loaded 100 grain spitzer boat tails and they seem to spread out past 200 yards. Tried 90 grain Sierra gamechangers, seem worse then the 100 grain speers. The game changers are LOOOONG.
So I'm looking at Berger 87gr VLD hunting bullets, Berger 65gr target boat tail, Berger 90gr target boat tail (probably too long), and Barnes 68gr match burners.
Looking for other match/hunting bullets in the 65-90 grain range.
My rifling is roughly 1:10, I checked with a cleaning rod.
I really wanted the 90 Sierras to shoot good but they are just too long. I would like to reach targets to 1,000 yards and kill hogs to 400 or so. But I would like to do both with the same bullet.
Any bullet suggestions would be appreciated.
