I have handloaded the Speer 105 gr 243 bullet and fired it out of two different rifles, a Ruger Number 1A and a Remington 660 carbine. Both rifles grouped that bullet fairly well, I killed one Deer with that bullet fired out of the Ruger, a double lung shot and it did not go far. Never tried the Berger 105 gr so I can not give a solid recommendation, give them a try and see how they group. If they shoot well enough, I would not hesitate to hunt Deer with them. Al

I ordered .243 Berger 105 for deer now the place I ordered them says “ your savage barrel has too slow a twist and the bullet will not stabilize I’ve seen others use it with no issues

This one will run $80 bucks plus tax at Walmart. They boast about an inch and a half insulation the sidewalls I wouldn't pay it.

I haven't started reading it yet but I bought the book " Ishi in Two worlds " . It's about the last wild Indian in North America .

My preferences run to well researched historic novels....Schaara, Obrien, McDonald...But am currently reading some Stephen King for the first time in years. Currently a collection of short stories, "Some Like it Darker". I forget what a great writer he is, but a fair number of the short stories he seems not to know how to end. I am amazed at this imagination and productivity.

My mother in law gave me the complete 3 volume Civil War by Shelby Foote. I’m almost thru volume 1. I hope to be into volume 2, by the time we visit Gettysburg, in about a month. I’m guessing that battle will be covered in that one.

If the Dragon Lady signs it within 30-days, the changes could take effect this deer season [emoji1695]

Just polished off a reprint of Jack O'Connor's early 1950s Gun Book, typical O"Connor wit and common sense. I have probably learned more about firearms, shooting and hunting from reading his stuff than everybody else combined. I think I have just about everything he has authored. Al

This one gave me the slip a few times, but it ended up like all the others, tumbling. H&N resized and weight sorted pellets show a measurable increase in first shot accuracy. SJC
