My brother-in-law has a Savage Make .243 that he chooses over any rifle and caliber on the market. I've seen him drop at least 10 deer over the years, some with lots of blood splatter, some without. Never the less, I try to put some sort of dang bad luck mojo/chant on that .243 every year in hopes of bringing down his luck, and it never works. There is always this years hunt??
