Default RE: .243 bullet weight

ORIGINAL: ipscshooter

Just curious... Couldn't the high velocity and the lightweight construction of the 55's and 70's lead to the extreme damage? I would think you'd get less damage from a heavier, slower bullet that's built for penetration in deer sized game, like a 100 gr.
Beats me. I have never had the chance to shoot at one. But my dad has shot at them in his cattle pasture. All I can ateast to is what I have seen from those shots, which is a 7 mag makes a mess of one.
