.243 Win : Opinions on this caliber rifle for hunting/target shooting purposes?

[ady]

Thanks A-R. I've now got it to shoot 3 holes cutting each other at 100m. Accuracy is fine and i think the barrel still has some life left. I'm a left handed shooter, so a cheek weld has always been foreign to me , but i agree. Maybe it is time for a new stock.

I still think the rifle has a place in my safe, that's why i haven't got rid of it.

Thanks Driepootx. I exclusively hunt inland. Our farm is about 1100m above sea level. I think the problem was the bullet weight. My father always shot PMP 100gr factory ammo and when i was a reloading noob, i had someone help me in the beginning and stuck to 100gr. I didn't know any better at the time.
