I retired my 'Ole Model 700 '06 about 35 years ago. Been Using a Browning BLR .243 ever since. I EXCLUSIVELY use the Hornady 95 Grain SST. Now I don't ever try a shot past 200 yards....the .243 kills by SPEED not MASS. Past 200 it can Certainly become a Crippler....especially on a 200 Plus pound Deer. Within 200 yards mine is LASER ACCURATE. So....You put that 95 grain SST through the base of the Neck or a SOLID Lung Shot....Ain't a Deer in Alabama can tote it Far. With the Lung Shot the Blood trail looks like a Murder has Occurred!!
