i never said hit him and hell drop
i dont mean shooting a deer like 5 inches from where your supposed to
i mean 2 or maybe 3
i think with a .243 you have maybe 1
i think a .260 would be a good choice for ladies or kids that cannot handle the recoil also
NOT ! The vital area of a deer is around 12" X 8" Put any descent caliber is that zone and the deer has no choice but to die. Miss that zone and the deer will go a long long long way, no matter what caliber you use, short of a 50bmg
