That's right flytie - add the .270 and the .222 to that Simply terrible ! A really HORRIBLE family of cartridges if you take the Norma 50 grain .222, then the Norma 100 grain .243 - then the Norma 130 grain .270. Zero at 100, a drop of approx 1.5" - 2" at 200; eleven inches at 300.
I loved them all. It was good to use any of the three in the APPROPRIATE situation and not have to wonder - apart from windage - where the bullet was going to drop.
But leg pulling aside, occasionally a bullet is located which does better in some rifles than others. Nosler make a bullet in .243 (6mm), which is too light to meet the weight required for red deer, but they are mustard killers. Remington used to turn out a cartridge with a hollow point bullet in .243 which was deadly accurate - and deadly in reaction if it struck any neck bone. (But that is also too light for Reds by today's standards.) What the Noslers in Ballistic Tip would be like on small bodied mature deer I just do not know, but they were certainly sure killers on Red calves.
