So, a few of you may have noticed I'm in the game for a new rifle, I'm also going to take the time to sort out which ammo to use henceforth. Historically I've used Fed 100gn in my .243, but a) they're getting too damn expensive and b) although I've always shot well with them I've often wondered will a lighter load be better.
I understand 243s are inherently more accurate (better stabilisation/flatter trajectory) with a lighter load, 50 - 75 gns (or so the saying goes)... but will a lighter load be more or less effective on munties (my primary target)?
Also, man in shop showed me some 105 gn RWS rounds at about £16 a box (£8 cheaper than the Feds)... but that just sounds way too heavy in .243... any thoughts?
Advice/thoughts as always greatly appreciated.
