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.
243 might not be bad I know alot of folks out here in the west who swear by it for everything from varmints on up to mule deer. One of the guys at the local gun range was talking about his wife taking a pronghorn at 300 yards with her 243. I have a 6mm which has just a tad more velocity then a 243 but uses the same bullets Ive nailed coyotes out to 500 yards, and this fall I might go to new mexico for a pronghorn hunt and plan on using it. from what 2 guides I have talked to, told me the 6mm with a 80 to 90 grain bullet will flatten a pronghorn to 400 yards.
