What is your load? Do you have a picture of the rifle?
If it shoots that well every time out you have a real winner there. Do you plan on stretching it out to 2,3,500 yds?

They were 100gr hornady BTSP american whitetail. And so far I have been able to keep m.o.a out to 300yrds! Haven't got out to 4-500yrds yet

Bowbender,
A good friend at work got his wife a .243 last year to get her into hunting. He wanted her to shoot a lot and get used to the gun so he bought the most economical factory ammo he could find. PPU and American Whitetail, both 100 gr. He said that the American Whitetail is extremely accurate in her gun. I have 7 boxes of empties from him so they have shot a fair amount.
Do you plan on hand loading? If not, and you want to try a good mono, the 80 gr Hornady GMX shot very well for me and also killed several deer very dead in 2012 for me. About $32 a box back then.

Very well done for factory cartridges. They have steadily improved over the years, I used to handload almost all CFs, not quite as much need to do so anymore other than cost perhaps.

Can't blame you bowbender. Great shooting. Buy a few hundred rounds from the same lot. Send me your empties. LOL
