Update on the 243,
On youth day 12/26 my daughter and I saw 2 doe but she never felt comfortable with the shot. Both were quarter too and she wanted full broadside or quarter away. the shot never presented itself clean enough for her liking . She showed incredible patience and i was proud of her

Yesterday was the last day of deer season in WV. I took a doe at 151 yards (new laser rangefinder for xmas). I used the Winchester super X 100g. Broadside, double lung. The bullet exited the other side with a penny size exit hole. When I opened her up the lungs were mush. She went down right away (less than 5 yards). Excellent performance

My buddy and i had hunted this small farm with woods and a few fields that we had recently received permission to hunt. It was our 3rd time on the property and although we had not seen any deer we had seen plenty of sign.
Pulled up in the truck yesterday and parked next to the old abandoned barn. Buddy got out of the car and said he was gonna take a leak in the barn. I walked to the other side of the barn, saw the doe in the field, loaded the gun and shot the doe. Buddy was still leaking when i shot. Went down to the doe and used the rangefinder back to the barn. Total hunt from truck to dead doe, 2 minutes

well just wanted to update you on the performance of the 243
