need a long range 243 bullet

[Rocky Raab]

Here's that old "best bullet" thing again.

The "best" bullet in the 243 for long range is clearly the Hornady 105 AMax.

But it is NOT a game bullet. It's a paper target bullet. It might (maybe, sometimes) suffice for varmints, but for a game animal, I cannot recommend it - and neither does Hornady.

A decent 100 to 105 grain softpoint will do the job, as will the 95 Partition. Sierra makes a fine game bullet, as does Hornady, Speer and Nosler. I'd reach for a box of Hornady Interlocks first if it were my gun.
