My Daughter is going to hunt antelope this Fall after a bit if a hiatus. She just wanted a break. But, I still have good loads and ammo loaded. @brockel will appreciate them. .243 Winchester. Boring I know.

Good eye. These are 80 grain. I do have a box of 70 grain. Not enough time to load this year. Fantastic bullet. mtmuley

That other bullet is a 95 grain VLD. There. I said it. mtmuley

Watched an antelope flip over backwards from that bullet. Looked like 5 gallon bucket of blood was thrown into the air. Devastated that antelope.

I've used them a bit in other rigs but long ago. Quit because of a few reasons. Except for that 95 in .243. It really works. But so does that little 80 grain Hammer. mtmuley

 

[mtmuley]

What powder you like with the 95? We have thinking about trying some.

I will check my notes. It is one of the 4350's. Stay tuned. mtmuley

 

[Nick87]

You and both kids have antelope tags?

Be prepared to not have to process a quarter. I had a small basketball size hole exit cavity. I use the term cavity because what should have been inside was thrown outside.

Only reason I bought her the 243 because I got a hell of a deal on it. And I wanted my 22-250 back

Me my daughter and son and son in law and a good hunting friend of a lot of years. mtmuley

You would shoot a Creed first wouldn't you? mtmuley

Can't think of a better way to spend some time with the kids. 7 more years and we'll be doing the same.

I don't shoot Bergers in the RUM anymore. mtmuley

I knew it but wasn't going to tell anyone. Have em aim for lung and avoid destroying the the quarter.

Hunting with just one daughter this year, rest of em are adults who didn’t apply or too young now. Central mt. 6 cm or 25 cm… should be fun. Kinda been lazy on the RL myself lately. That 25 shoots anything though with rl 16. Good luck! Hope y'all whack some good ones. Well they all taste good anyhow.

Oh yeah sorry. My wife and Granddaughter that is 15 months old. They don't have tags. mtmuley
