Default RE: short range caliber
ORIGINAL: Amor patriae

I've searching the site and it looks like the .243 is a viable option. majority of the opinions seem to be in favor. the stand/blind locations where I'm hunting are within the 75yd mark until we get some lanes cut down on the property. in this calibre, what is everyone's ammo suggestion. expansion and energy are my biggest concern. thanks again for everyone's input.
Seems to me you are just looking for less recoil, but by no means is the .243 a short range cartridge.
When I hunt with the .243, I use Federal 95gr NBT.
