I am helping gear up up a youth hunter for MI whitetail. Ranges will exist 30 to 100 yards. He has a Browning Micro Hunter (20" barrel) in .243 Win. His dad is a .30-thirty kind of guy and I hunt with the .300 Southward......then this small diameter is new to usa.

I would like your opinion on which 100 grain factory ammo is perfered for penetration/expansion on whitetails based on your real world experiences. Looks like my choices are Federal Power Shok (blue box), Remington CoreLokts or Winchester Power Points all in 100 grain offer. I know shot placement is KEY, merely bullet construction is the other half of the equation......right?

Thanks!

100 grain Nosler Partion is best,but given your listed choices,I see which shot the best in that gun.Accurateness is the key and a good cup&core bullet in the right place kills every time...
I accept used the Remington Core-loc and never had a problem in many calibers

I'd accept no problem with any you listed. I'd start with the Federal blue box.

But I'd get with Dave's proposition. The Federal Fusion'south flat out shoot in everything I've tried them in.

I've fabricated dead deer with them besides. One made it nigh 15 yards, one was lights out where he stood, kicked twice and was expressionless earlier I put the gun downwardly.

Fusions shot the all-time for "factory" ammo out of my cheap .270, and the results on game were impressive. Cadre-lokt bullets have done well in the same burglarize for me, but were handloads, and so it is difficult to compare the accuracy. Given the opportunity to handload the Fusion bullets, I would estimate they would shoot REALLY well, since the factory ammo printed just a tad over an inch at 100 yards. (in standard internet measurements, that would be roughly 0.three" groups at 100 yards.....)

Only that by weekend youth chase my oldest boy now 10, got a new roughshod axis .243 last week and we took information technology out. His granddad bought him 2 boxes of the winchester 100gr. they seem to work well on the coyote we seen at 230 yards. A loading guy i work with is a well known gunsmith type guy from where i am at suggested best factory box he's institute was remington core-lokts at 100gr. he told me 90-100 grn for deer, shouldn't have to go higher. he loads alot of .243 likewise. just what i've plant out in the concluding week with the new gun. i liked it.

I've been getting more bloodshot meat with Rem.Corelokt than i think i should be. This year i'yard gonna endeavor Hornady BTSP Interlocks in 100g.They're very accurate in my gun.My second pick would exist Sierra BTSP Gamekings in 100g also very accurate.

Come across what your gun likes and become from in that location. You certainly don't demand a premium bullet to kill a deer. The Hornady'due south are only well-nigh $five a box more than the Corelokts so i figured what the heck i'll try them.

Yous certainly don't need a premium bullet to impale a deer.

And from the Layne Simpson article, lung shot whitetails traveled about twice as far, shot with premium bullets, than with softer, cup and cadre bullets.

Those yous listed should all piece of work well. If I were purchasing ammo, I would go with the Win Power Points as my get-go choice.
But as noted, the Nosler Partition is tops.

No. Information technology's "fused" with the lead core if I sympathize it correctly. I have i that was recovered in the hide on a fat buck I shot a few years agone. It went in behind the near shoulder, ripped up lung, and traveled through the spine and ended upwards in the cervix on the off side. It was juuuuust poking through the hide when I skinned information technology out.

It is what I'm using in my .280 Rem (Redneck built) this year. It shoots 3 shots touching at 100 yds. Didn't mensurate them but it was good enough for me. smile

You tin spend a lot of money on ammo,but you won't go any better performance on deer than you can with Core-Lokt.

My Married woman & Son shoot a Fell model xi, in .243. Over the terminal 3 seasons, they have put a combined eight deer in our freezer, using nothing but 100gr Federal power-shok (Blue box), or 95g Federal Fusions.

If asked to cull, the fusion holds together better & is marginally more accurate in this burglarize.
