.243 Win loads

[Garand46]

Loaded up a few 100gr test rounds with some IMR 4064. Want to try them out and some 95gr SSTs for deer loads. Does anyone else use SSTs for deer?

Loaded them up for my brother once. Never again. Lots of meat damage. No trace of the bullet anywhere and it didn’t exit in his .243. Shot was under 100. After that experience I am done with thin jacketed bullets for large game. For the .243 we switched a few years ago to the 85gr tsx and been happy with results. My wife is using that load this year. Running them about max load with IMR 4064.

I’ve found the sst doesn’t hold together well at high velocities. I’ve used them in .243 and 300wm. It’s a pretty accurate bullet but really tears things up.
