Default RE: .243

Yeah, But can you hit them behind the back with a mirror......LOL just playing around ( You to Rebel Hog)200 yds. with any good centerfire should not be a problem if you can shoot. Some people are just naturally better shots than others.We are always ready to doubt the ability of some individuals.Some of these guy's on here could probally pop you in the coconut at 2000 meters no problem.I shoot pretty danged good and would not hesitate to shoot a deer at 2oo ,probally 300 with a .243. But I would make darn sure my rifle and myself were up to the task before hand.Rebel Hog's idea about the plywood deer is about the best way to get to true hunting conditions there is.Try it from your stand and every position that you can.Hell the guy's around here have 500,600 and even 1000yd shoots at EGGS.That's a little smaller than a deer .BTW I have a Win.Model 70 bull barrel .243 with a straight 36 power scope so thats kinda like cheating.I have pieces of round currancy that has .223, 7mm, .308,.243,.22-250 size holes in them from 100 and 200 yards.
