Default 243 handloads

Has anyone tryed some 75gr barnes spitzers in a 243? thinking of loading up some for coyotes , they have a decent b.c and should be nice for long shots and wind, shooting a heavy barrel rem 700 bdl. its handles the 58gr vmax fairly well. 1/2 inch at two hundred, 3 shot group /

I run 70 gr ballistic tips and IMR 3031 in my xbolt .243 and it averages around 1/2" or better if I do my part.. Great for longer shots as well

In 243 I've only run them on paper. I use a 55gr nosler ballistic tip in 22.250 hand load and its pencil size hole or no blood at all. I use 40gr v max in 204 and they are all right if I don't go out past 300. Past that I find they tear hide real good.
