My Dad ended up getting a really good deal on a .243 Winchester. I' ve been reading a little about it and found out it' s a smaller caliber but it' s big enough for deer. Where I grew up and live there' s no rifle hunting so I never learned much about rifle calibers.

Can you guys just give me a little background info on it? Jus basics like maximum range, what size animals can it take, what sized ammo to use. Stuff like that.

Thanks.
