Two average sized White Tail does were taken on my farm last year with a .243 loaded with the 95gr CTBT. One at 330 and one at 358 both one shot both did not move from their tracks. Boys, if you put the bullet where it belongs, the arguements about which is better are all moot. Personally I like the '06 and the 7mag for deer but I'm older that dirt and stuck in my ways.
