sst's are lead

I stand corrected I should have said GMX. I think those are the copper ones I got for my daughter for the .243.

I dont know if they are still giving out a voucher for a free box of loaded non-lead ammo or bullets with a Kaibab tag? If so I would try the Barnes 80 gr. TTSX.

My sons R 700 in 308 shoots 1 inch groups at 200 yards and my 3006 shoots an average 5/8 inch at 100. Both with 150 gr. TTSX Barnes factory load, I dont bother hand loading non-lead bullets for these two.

If you do try them make sure your barrel is clean before you start shooting them.

Sounds good! Thanks!

what do you think about .243 for ram?

I'm sure it would do just fine but if there was ever a reason to not play the fringe!

I would never discourage someone from buying a new rifle, and a bigger caliber wouldn’t hurt.  But .243s have killed a lot of deer and a fair number of elk at closer ranges.  I wouldn’t hesitate to use it for that hunt if you shoot it well.

They're easy to get close to. 30-30 win just cuz. Or a bow. 

In the cabeza prieta wilderness?? My dad wants to bring his bow in case he sees a ram that he can stalk. I’m trying to talk him out of it.

I would encourage him to take the bow if that's what he wants. Hunt with a bow but take along a rifle afield too.

im doing everything i can to crap him out about the bow. for all i know we might not even find a shooter ram. he says he wants to use a bow, i know my dad and if he shot a 160" with his bow he will look at it on his wall and be mad he didnt try and hold out and find a 170 with his rifle. but i dont care. i think when he sees the unit he might change his mind also. but its whatever he wants
