Paul.L 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I use accutips in my .243 very accurate ,but a bit naughty regarding meat damage ,but they do do the business as do Winchester silvertips ,which are unbelievably accurate but also very expensive . federal are a decent factory round I think I used to use 100gn powershok.

mattydski 560 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think it depends on the rifle, 100g Fed Prems are not the best in my Sauer. I am on SAKO ammo at present. Winchester were ok, but not special. Found them expensive though. Quote Link to post

Thanks. Remmy Accu tips are my choice for my sako always, a good round for the whole spectrum of quarry. As someone else mentioned though, they can make a mess due to the polymer tip so I would go for head shots on roe although I suppose I cannot condone this with a view to good practice! I mainly tackle fallow with mine with a head or neck shot. To sum up, they do the job! Let us know what you think in comparison to the Feds. Quote Link to post
