Default RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?

All of them will work. For me it's been a .243 for over 20 years. Made some 300 yd shots on some pretty good size deer, even hogs at that distance.
My 9 year old took his first deer, a spike last year with a 195 yd shot and drilled him to the ground with a high shoulder shot. Theres something about the .243, with no recoil people seem to shoot really good with it. Just put it where you want and squeeeeeze. Ive owned several makes in the .243 and they all shot at least an inch at a 100. I have had no luck with the .270, couldnt get 3 different guns to group well.
