    WTB--.243 deer bullets

    I need bullets, cast or jacketed, 100 grains. A friend at work just scored a left hand Savage Apex2 in .243. (is that right?) He like to go deer hunting for the first time. Of course ammo is hard to find. I have some old odd brass and can spare powder and primers. I have no cast in that caliber. No jwads either. Does anybody have a couple hundred cast they could sell me reasonable? Gas checked would be great. I'm looking to help out a guy, need to sight in new scope, iron sights, some just shooting, and a big handful for deer season. I could do it with 50, but 200 would be better. I can get Hornady bullets ( 103 grain) on line and may go that route anyway. Anybody got any advice on loading? I have 4895, 3031, 4350, Unique on hand. I will not be there to help test fire so no pushing the pressures up. Must be nice and safe but a deer killer. thanks all. I'll check back later

    I have a box of Nosler Partitions, 100 gr. I would part with. PM me if interested.
    Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.

    Think I have some 95gr Hornady SST's I got from Midway as blems. Looks like the tip is the wrong color is what I think was wrong with them. Let me know if interested.

    American Reloading has pulled 100 gr SP's for $80 per 500. Can't beat that with a stick. I've delt with them before and they are a great group of guys. https://americanreloading.com/en/134...aliber-242-243

    Almost all of their pulled bullets are premium quality. Remington Core-Lokt, Hornady, Sierra, Speer, ect. They are the first place I go for J words.

    With the 103 gr Hornady's I think your best powder is 4350
