Jag you aint got to tell me.
I have hunted with a .243 primarily for 25+ years. Prolly around 125 kills including hogs. not one has got away or needed a second shot. they dont go far either, I hadONE doe go 100 yds, and this was with a perfect heart shot, the rest drop or go a little ways and pile up. My kids use my .243 with the same results.
Zrex, I consider the .243 to be an excellent minimum caliber for deer size game! You won't get an argument from me on the .243/6MM!
