RE: 243. For Whitetails
I have absolutley no problem dropping deer with my .243 loaded with Banres 95 grain X-bullets. Shot 1 this season in the front shoulder throught the heart liver and lungs after it broke the shoulder. Deer went 10 feet. I love because I can switch to 60 grain bullets and use it for varmit too.
Save the sport. Take a kid hunting twice and hook them for life!!!
