Hi

I DONT KNOW WHY BUT THE .243 DOES THINGS THAT IT SHOULDNT BE ABLE TO DO. 7 YRS AGO BOUGHT MY 12 YR OLD SON A SAVAGE .243 BOLT AND HE HAS KILLED 8 DEER IN THOSE 7 YEARS, NEVER LOST AN ANIMAL AND RECOVERED ABOUT 50% OF THE MUSHROOMED BULLET FROM THE DEER WHEN WE BUTCHERED THEM. BULLET PLACEMENT IS IMPORTANT BUT I THINK THE .243 MAKES A FINE DEER SIZE GAME GUN.

GOOD HUNTING

TOM
