I was always a little worried about a 243 being too small for deer but after reading this I'm going to buy one for my son. The exit hole pic sold me for sure.

thats the deer my son shot last year, 190+ yd shot.
Heres the same deer out in the field. I dont always get exit wounds like that, sometimes its just a small hole, but a lot of bruising and internals are mush. This deer did require a follow up shot, I walked up to him and shot him in the neck.
