I recently acquired a Striker in .243 and had a few loaded rounds on hand but all I know is that they were 80 grainers, as written on the box. They shot very well with limited range time.

What bullet and weight do you guys use for 2-300 yd shots on antelope and deer? I am going to try some 87 gr. Hornady SP's first, but wanted to see you all have to say.

I don't think a guy could go wrong with either the 90 gr Ballistic Tip or the Accubond.

My Striker would shoot 90grn Ballistic Tips with Varget into a 2" circle at 200 meters all day with the Burris 3x12 scope.
I shot the same bullet in my Encore rifle barrel for my neices and they killed deer with them out to 215 yds and know they would have reached farther.
