Hi Hornet, use them for foxing in the CF2. 3420 ave. through the chrono and around 1" groups at 100yds. Just the job.
 
Hmbm wonder what they would be like on a roe if you had to? not wishing to start a debate on using varmint bullets on deer,think thats been covered once or twice:D

All my 243 rifles have been fed with Sierra 75 grain HP heads - very very accurate bullet! A bit sharp on the back edge so a decent case mouth chamfer is advisable to assist entry. I think they buck the wind a bit better than the 60 grain version and still tramp along fast enough for normal UK varminting.
