Just got the wife a Ruger No 1 .243 that has a 1"to 9". She got her first two deer with it using 100grain Nosler partitions. They shoot under 1" five shot groups at 100 yard. I have not tryed to many differnt loads thru it yet. I have tryed the Nosler 55 grain, and that will shoot under 1" five shot groups at 100 yards. I know this is probably not much help to you, but just a limited amount of info I have on it. Keep it safe, and have fun!
