Well lets face it the 243 can take everything from rabbit to Moose. I'm sorry just had to joke around a little bit. Balistic charts just don't expain everything to me however to some people they do. I have a buddy who hunts everything from Rabbits to Deer with a 20gage (he just switches out the barrel) and is very successful and then another one who tends to buy the "hottest supermag out their every year, that for some reason I refuse to hunt with because he's a damn poor shot. We have to just relise if you know what your limitations are shot wise with the wepon you take in the field you will have a great harvest. Limitations is your responsibility not the rifle or round.
