Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

Are you shooting these in a 1:10 barrel?

Funny how the new cool stuff is "bettter" than the .243. mtmuley

My wife has one in 6mm that I’m about to start working up a load for. Half tempted to cut the stock down and add a better pad for her and the kids too.

If I can wrangle a scope, A Leupold M8 6X is on the way to my house and I may will take the .243 elk hunting this year. The last critter it killed was my daughter’s first elk.

Debating between a Hammer and the Nosler Ballistic Tip for bullets. I think the 95 grain Nosler over some H4350 might be my first try.

There is nothing wrong with the .243 win but I don't think that I would consider it if I am getting a new gun. With that said I found a great deal at scheels for a Tikka T3 in .243 win last week. It was a perfect rifle for my sister in law so I picked it up.
