Good ammo for a winchester m70 in 243 win.

[Lars Munk]

As already mentioned, I’m looking for two different types of factory ammo for a Winchester m70 in 243 win. (Barrel twist 1:10)
First one I’m looking for is varmint ammo. And it would be great if the buller stays within the body, so there’s less damage to the fur.
Second one has to be a hollow point, Lapua Scenar typ, this will be used for capercaillie and black grouse, so No rapid expansion wanted.
Hope there’s help to be found in here.
Cheers!

Hej Lars.
I would think that Norma should have you covered.
I believe that they do a 58 grain VMax load for varmint/predator and a 95 grain Jaktmatch for the birds.

I second with the Norma. However I doubt that you will find a bullet that will not leave the varmint, given that .243 is powerful and varmint are usually small or medium. I shot quite a few wild dogs on the field with a .223 from 100-200 yards and the bullet always makes an exit hole, usually quite ugly. Better for pelt conservation would be to use a shotgun with 4-5 mm bb's, I am yet to find a fox or a dog to not drop in it's tracks when shot by it.
