.243 ammo

[Mikethall]

Hi all I'm a new owner of a steyr ssg69 in .243 can anyone recommend good foxing ammo.
Thanks mike

vmax in any weight should be good

Friends that have 243 say 75gr VMax are very effective.

I used .243 75 vmax for ages on fox and later on roe which were outstanding, when i couldnt get them for reloading i would buy 75gn factory remmy accutips which i belive are the same projectile with a gold tip.
A couple of years ago when supplies were low i moved on to 87 vmax and they seemed to create less bruising on roe but were still good for foxing so i have stuck with them.
Mind you i have been experimenting with 85gn partitions and with a bit of trial and error they will goup same point of impact as the 87's and roughly the same group size giving me the best of both worlds incase i go anywhere where plastic tips arn't welcome. DD

I use Remington 75gn Premier AccuTip in my 700 they cost me £22.00 a box. Furthest fox to date is 312yds.
I picked them and a second brand but found they worked the best out of the two....I dont reload but my friend is all ways dipping into my pot of spent rounds

I use use Federal 80gr sp for fox and deer-it works well in my Tikka 1-10 twist.

I use 87 grain V Max with Reloader 15 in my 1 in 10 twist Howa .243 and they are very accurate just a fraction over 1/2 MOA
