i have a prohunter .243 (mountain) with t8 and 8*56 scope.
it shoots 100gn rws and 95gn winchester ballistic tips both 1" high at 100 and 80gn winchesters 1.5" high at 100 and bull at 200m. just going to run some 55gn winchesters through it to see what its doing without altering the scope. i'm hoping that i can push things a little further/flatter and keep the gun set for deer, but still have the 55gns within an acceptable tollerance.
does anyone else use tha same gun for deer and fox (foxing, not just while stalking), and change factory ammo to suit the job in hand. or do you stick to one type of ammo or change scope settings?
any advice welcome.
when the .308 variation comes through the .243 will probably be used just for foxing.
cheers
