Zrex and I think on somewhat on the same level. I feel that some people on the forum hear all these bad things about using small calibers on deer and such without ever using one for that purpose and then go on to (with second hand information) bad mouth smaller cartridges. Dont get me wrong I hunt with a 7mm mag and a 300 win mag, but i also hunt with a 22-250. I think we are all entitled to use what we see fit and legal so everyone needs to stop bad mouthing something soley on second hand information. I firmly believe that if you wound a deer with a 22-250 or 243 its your fault not the cartridge's fault. Honestly have any of you who bad mouth the 243 ever seen what it does to a deer? I guess not because if you have you wouldnt be talkin smack about it.
