Hornady SSt 243

Anybody hunt deer with these bullets in a 95 gr .243? I bought a box for sighting in, not sure I am going to use them.

You will be fine. Ive killed them with 80 grain.

If they sighted in and shot consistently they should be good bullets. I use 100 gr Fed. Premium Nosler Partitions in my .243 and have for years. I've learned with the .243 to use a good bullet that doesn't blow up when it strikes the deer. It sounds like your bullet with it's heavy jacket should do the job. I rarely shoot at deer over 150 yards with the .243 although it will kill them much farther out. I don't like to trail hit deer and prefer to use the "little" rifle at closer distances for neck or spine shots that drop the deer like a lightning bolt hit him.

I have shot nothing but the 139 gr SST in my 7mm08 for years.The best box ammo out there IMO,Hands Down!!

Same here. I've dropped my share with 50 grain in a 22/250 also. I plan on doing it again tomorrow morning with the .243
