RE: .243 for deer
Sig is a quote from a movie.
243 is an awesome deer caliber my bud has been using a Model 7 with 80grn Sierra Blitz bullets and has killed more deer then I can remember. He's a straight up outlaw and prob kills 20 or so a year and never has a prob dropping them. He's shot them from everywhere from their head to ass and loves the cailber.
I have shot a handful with my 6mm using 90grn Nosl BT's. Irecently purchased a 243 wssm which I am very confident will take out what I put the x-hairs on, gonna try some 85 grn Nosl Part. in it.
Youll be very happy with a 243.
