I had a Rem.243 VLS that I used for praire dogging,it shot several loads extremely well,one was a Sierra varminteer HP,another was a Speer BTHP with almost an 1/8diameter by .1 deep hp cavity.To look at that speer bullet, it seemed it would be horrible for accuracy.My longest shot was 786yrds with the Sierra and 732yrds with the Speer.Both took only two shots to connect,one to tell me what mil-dots to use for the second.I also had a A-max round that shot the same,but didn't have them in the .243 at the time,they were in my 22-250.No differences could be found between the two tips at long ranges.
