Nope Nope not a goog cal. at all you won't like it at all , so you can just send it to me for hunting ground squirrls LOL.
All joking aside IMO the 243 is one of the best short or long range Rifles around . I had 2 Rem 788 in 243 back years ago and like a dummy sold them. It will kill an animal farther than you will ever want to shoot at one trust me . I used a 100gr Winchester JSP right off thestore shelves and it did fantastic. Blew right threw shoulders like cutting hot butter.
