SHOOTING QUESTION

mndeer hunter · 11-15-2006, 03:04 PM

i have been shooting a 30-06 now i have a flinching problem. what
can i do to help this problem? i am thinking about switching to a
243 . do you think switching calibers will help my flinching? how well will a
243 work on deer. what is the effective range of a 243 with a 100 grain
bullit? thank you for your help.

I have a .243 and my dad used to shoot a .243. very good guns. i use 80 grains and shoot 100 yards just fine so i don't see why 100 grain would be any different. now with the flinching problem, i flinch a little too. but there is barely any recoil on the .243. i guess it just depends on you.

That deer was shot under 100 yards with a .300 WSM. He may claim it was shot with a .243 but it in fact wasn't.

And how do you know this?

i have another question i forgot to ask. if i am shooting a remington
700 sps in a 270 with a r-3 recoil pad that reduses felt recoil by 50%.
would this be soft enough recoil for some one who has a flinching
problem to handle? thank you.

Ok you know what? We don't need that in every thread...thanks. You can go ahead and give advice without reposting that in every .243 thread taht comes along.

It all depends on you. I can't really tell you what your threshold for recoil is. I think the best thing for you to do would be to borrow some different caliber guns and see what you're comfortable with.

By actually hunting with the .243 for 15 years with many different styles and bullet weights, that deer was not shot with a .243, it was shot under 100 yards with a very fast magnum, probably a 7mm mag or .300 mag.
