I shoot much more than that...Groundhogs, coyotes, crows, even shot 6 deer with the .243 last year...I just use the same gun because the .243 is the only centerfire I have owned since 1980....I love to go our to the farm with a buddy, put up a target at 300 yards, put the Harris Bipod on their gun and have them lay down and take 3 shots at it...Most of the time, the deer would have lived for another day...
