Has any shot any deer with this bulet ? Did it work ok ? I've loaded up some with 42 grns imr 4350 and get a little over 3000 fps from my 22" bbl. Seems to shoot good groups.

Your post is not real clear on which 100 grainer your using. Hornady has a couple. The 100gr Sierra Spire Boat Tail works really well with my Winchester Featherweight and 36gr of IMR 4064. I am very confident using it on deer to 300 yds.

Just a plain old Hornady 100 spt innerlock

I've used the 100 grain interlock flat base from Hornady a lot for deer and it's a winner. One can not ask for much more in a .243.

Yep ,thats the bullet. I had been using lighter bullets for higher vel. But After last years experience on a huge buck I decided to go heavier. ( I did get the buck, I could watch him all the way untill he fell, perfect heart shot)

I agree..seen lots of deer killed with the 243 and 6mm and Hornady 100gr bullets.

Here's one my wife shot... back in the day...He traveled about 70 yards heart shot.



I'm using the 100gr. Hornady for cull bucks etc. down in S. Texas but may soon try the 85gr Barnes.

Hard luck
My wife and I have shot several deer and she has shot several antelope with the Sierra 100gr and the 95 Nosler Partrition.
Your 100 gr Hornaday should do fine.

Sendero: great looking buck, I'm a sucker for the low wide ones. How wide is he?

olarmy,
He is right at 24" outside spread....San Saba county. My wife was shooting her old Rem. adl in 243.
I'm still looking for one that wide

wow, hellova deer anywhere, but especially for San Saba County!! Try to keep up with yer bride, will ya?
