I don't reload.

looking 105 grain. I've never seen it on the shelf anywhere around here.I Googled ".243 100 grain ammo" and several places popped up that COULD have it.
Have ya already called local shops? or even non-local?
Back in the 1970's there was a factory 105 grain load from somebody, but it did not do well and fell by the wayside. Bullet weights at the far extremes are seldom big sellers. Current manufacturers seem to have come to the conclusion that 95 grain is the sweet spot for .243 deer rounds. And of course 100 grain factory will always be available. Good luck on your search.

Unfortunately, if you’re dead set on a 105 gr bullet and aren’t going to reload, $$$$ shipping cost is about your option.$15 for shipping, not happening.
That's a sweet rifle. I know the other gentleman is probably correct, but I'd suggest trying a box of the Federal Fusion 95 grain. They are not expensive (about $20), and I've never seen a bad review.I have a Savage 99 in 243. The man who bought it after daddy traded it and sold it back to daddy, says that it likes a fat slow bullet. But of course, he was reloading. It used to shoot the Winchester 100 grains pretty good. But I can't get it to tighten back up for nothing. I've tried a few different ones with no luck.

Fat equals heavy. That's all, and usually heavy is a little slower. Please excuse my termination.I have no idea why anyone would call them "fat". It is the same diameter. Would they just not be "heavy" for caliber? Please enlighten me here.
Yep
We shoot Fusion in .243 and .30-06 and never had a deer fall further than 30yds
Then you must not want them very bad. But if you order two or three boxes that is wiser shipping money spent In my opinion ,,and you don’t have to drive anywhere using gas or your time , which has value and a saving.$15 for shipping, not happening.

Speer loaded a 105gr, I think and Midway still has info on the Speer bullet but it has been discontinued.Back in the 1970's there was a factory 105 grain load from somebody, but it did not do well and fell by the wayside.

A 1 in 10" twist should stabilize any 243 caliber bullet but should like a 87-95gr bullet best. I know where several boxes of it are with 100gr bullets, Federal I think.. PM for info.That gun has a 1 in 10 twist rate. A 105 grain bullet will be longer to accommodate the weight. A super high performance load might push it faster than the rifling can stabilize it. If it doesn't shoot good the maybe try some lighter bullets or some Hornady Custom Lite ammo.
