Default RE: How the .243 stacks up (part deux)

DROP THE SUBJECT!!! We all know you think the .243 is king, now get over it!!!

We all know how well the .243 fairs in the trajectory department, but that has nothing to do with what the bullet does once it gets there!! And within the normal hunting ranges anyway (inside 300 yds), there is not enough difference in trajectory or wind drift among the high-powered cartridges (with a few exceptions) to make a difference when it hits the game the bullet was designed for!! And just going off of what the charts say means absolutely nothing anyway, because every person shoots each gun different, so you have to get out and check at those ranges to see what that peticular load does in that rifle with YOU shooting it!!!
