My 9 year old son took his first deer yesterday, a spike ,with my well equipped .243, it was at 205 yds. I told him to hit the shoulder and he hit a little high, dropped him in his tracks, he also dropped a javelina at 120 yds, 2 one shot kills.
couple of threads to follow on this subject.
.243 on the small side, JamesB ? wait till you see the pic. He He !
