    Speed load for 243

    I want to play around with my 243 as I acquired some 70g Nosler BTs. I know these loads are normally used for varmints such as coyotes, but I wonder how they would work on pigs? With a MV of around 3500 FPS with a 200 yd zero they are pretty flat. Just wondering if they will simply blow up on impact and not get much penetration. Thoughts?

    Any time I shoot a varmint load at a pig, I give them the ear hole treatment.

        I shoot 70 grain BTs with IMR 4350, just a generic load out of the nosler manual and it shoots great in my M700. Bot pushing it too hard, close to 3350 or so. But it is flat out to 400 and will absolutely stomp a coyote into the ground. Not sure if I've ever shot a pig with it, but lots and lots of coyotes. And they don't usually take more than a step or 2 if any.
