    Just one? Can't do it. Depends.

    You're probably right about the .243. It's a great cartridge available in a wide range of rifles. It's even been used quite successfully on elk, if at shorter range.

    More Testing Needed?

    I use the Nosler 180 BT in my 300 Win Mag and it's killed everything I shot at, many DRT. Of course, the Speer 165 SPBT out of the '06 has killed just as well, and both rifles shoot into < 1" @ 100...

    Daniel,
    Are you sure you meant 100 grain loads? In jacketed you really start about 129 grain, and in boolits it's still maybe 119 grain in the Lyman 266324.
