Same here...been very pleased with it for the last 6 years, although I haven't shot my .243 this year

Forget the .243 talk, have you had your mechanical bull ride yet? :-)

I shoot the Hornady Whitetail Special out of my 243.

Federal Fusion. Cheap, easy to find, and they are flat out nasty on deer and hogs.....IF they shoot well in your rifle. That being said, I have not found a rifle yet that the Fusions were not the best or at least in the top 2 performing factory loads.

I don't have a Savage, but this has been my experience with Federal Fusion too. My 7mm-08 likes it, my 30-30 loves it compared to others. I've never shot it in my .308, but I'll be picking up a box soon to give it a shot. Seems to be really consistent factory loaded ammo at a reasonable price.

Hornady sst

I just shot a spike today(110lbs Hillcounty deer ) and a 180 lbs cull in Webb county with hornady sst , this gun has horrible accuracy
But can get 1 1/2 moa with hornady and the sst made a clean pass through DRT on both
The bullet is good (I have my doubts about the rifle though)

Sounds to me like the rifle did its job ^^^^^^.

No it was the nut loose behind the stock , the bullet cratered both deer hornady makes a good product maybe after the season I can work on the trigger f the savage
