Best .243 bullet for Wiley?

[Taidog1]

Hornady 87 bthp or 87 vmax would work very well. Carry plenty energy for long shots and will expand well. You won’t be disappointed. Powders in the H414 to imr 4350 burn rate range work well.

Hey...

Thanks. Wish either one was in stock locally. Not.

I do have the Sierra 85 gr BTHP on my shelf. << Good references. My fall back position if I don't find a 95gr suitable for Coyote. I know my 90 gr AB would work on the LR accuracy requirement - but but would prefer a faster opening LR bullet for Wiley.

And maybe I'm just over-thinking all this? Not my first time. Those 85 grains all get excellent reviews. Back to the drawing board.

Read a Coyote hunter post earlier today saying he sights in at 300 yards. 4" up at 100 - 12" low at 400. Interesting. Some merit to that. Before dialing knocked on my door - I was always a 3" up at 100 yards hunter. 4 up and 12 down - will definitely think about that.

Greatly appreciate the feedback folks. Really do. Your first-hand experiences are a whole lot better than Reloading Manual / ballistic speculating.

Be safe.

Cheers.

FWIW, my 6BR I get 2850fps with 105gn Bergers and their hunting bullet is almost as accurate as their match bullet.
