This 100 grain Spitzer bullet #1540 has a heavy, double-tapered jacket to ensure adequate penetration with reliable expansion on medium game. This bullet is a good choice for hunting large varmints like wolf, as well as deer. It also may be the bullet of choice in some rifle’s because its flat base construction enhances accuracy in that particular rifle over a boat tailed design. A classic load for the 243 Winchester is the 100gr Sierra over IMR 4350
