Default RE: Remington Mod. 798

ORIGINAL: .243Heartshot

Hey guys, I was thinking about getting the Remington model 798 for deer, mule deer,coyote, etc. I was thinking about .243 it is the only caliber I like, but will it suffice for small black bears, and coyotes. What grain bullets for coyotes like Federal 55 grain, and for deer and black bear what grain, I was thinking 80 grain for deer, 100 grain for mule deer and black bear. Please give advice.
You ONLY like a .243? Also, bump that 80 grains up to 100 for deer. Or 95. Bears I think a .243 might be too small.
