RE: First deer 243 and questions
The poor little 243 had run out of gas that far but still did the intended job.You can kill yotes and small game farther with it but light rounds leave fast and run out of energy fast,and larger game needs more energy to kill,your had enough of that and shot placement to work this time.I shot a deer quartering to me with a 308 shooting 150 grain bullet,through point of shoulder and never exited,found slug under off side skin...at 35 yards! Just can't tell how bullets going to react 100% of time!
