Slow Burn: Well said. My .243 is plenty of gun for hunting in the Texas Hill Country, where deer rarely exceed 160 lbs. Everyone needs to make their selection based on what will effectively dispatch the game they are hunting under their particular circumstances, and should know the limitations of whatever round they pick and choose bullet construction and shot selection accordingly.

I suspect that if I went hunting for some of those 400 lb. behemoths that they grow in the cornfields of the Midwest, I might consider upgrading a little, but, the "upgrade" would not be to a Roberts...
