I use a 243 because in my "twlight"
years I want less recoil and a lightgun to carry in the woods.
X2!
I've went through the "magnumitis" stage, using a 7MM RM, good, but a little overkill!
I am also partial to my .308, and if I could keep only one gun, the .308 would be it!
The .243 does everything you'd ever want done on Whitetails! With less recoil!
