Any suggestion for Bullets for load development for .243 Winchester? Would be used mostly for hunting Springbuck to 300m range. I do not like bullets that explode upon impact and mak a lot of meet damage.

• Choose bonded soft-points / Partition / monolithic (copper) — controlled expansion, high weight retention. • 90–100 gr is the sweet spot for .243 — best balance of penetration and BC. • Prefer spitzer, boat-tail profiles for better long-range performance. • Avoid varmint/fragmenting bullets (V-Max, etc.) — they shred meat. • Zero & test the exact ammo in your rifle; prioritize shot placement.
85 grain Siera Gameking HP BT in front of 43 grain S365 is what ive been using for the 20 years. Good performance and excelent accuray. A bad shot with any bullet will cause meat damage.
