Best .243 bullet for badger
So oomanses, what's a good .243 bullet (and powdah) for our .243? We have a 16 inch .243 barrel, 1 twist in 8 inches. We shoot mainly at 300 mards, sometimes at 600 and, once in a blue moon, at 1,000 mards. We've been looking at the bullets on http://www.henrykrank.com/index.php?mai ... 65_169_177 and scratchin' our 'ed. What do you recommend? We fancy the 90 gn FMJBT, with the 107 gn as second choice if we ever shoot 1000 mards regularly. Ramshot Hunter powdah with it?

The Berger offerings work exceedingly well at reasonable distances in the .243 however they are not the cheapest.

Re: Best .243 bullet for badger
The Sierra bullets do seem to be more available...

Re: Best .243 bullet for badger
I prefer the Hornady's in my .244 Remington and my 6mm Musgrave, they just seem to have the edge over the Sierras.
Availability is just as good.
Tried a parcel of Bergers once and they had to be the worst shooting bullets ever in my guns.

I've always thought an 87 grain V-max would work well on badgers..................
