    Ignore the one on the lower right, it was the virgin shot. The other 3 were without any boresighting. DNZ scope mounts are the real deal. I couldn't get my crosshairs to focus. I was shooting factory 100 gr Rem Core Lokts. Impressed with the accuracy so far.

    My 243Win loves the Barnes 85gr TSX. Coming out of only 14 inches of bbl it still opens good on both deer and hogs.
    Been wanting to give the 55 and 58gr bullets a try and will just as soon as some cooler WX comes.

    I bought some Hornady 87gr soft points for varmints. Has anyone used these and what powders do you recommend? Also, can I use a regular CCI or WIN large rifle primer and not the Federal 210s like the book says? Thanks

    Yes you can substitute the other brand primers. I had really good luck with W760 and 87gr bullets in my .243
