The animal ,a clean and humane kill. I use a 270 Win. mod. 70
for deer, using 130 grain nosler ballistic tip reloads which I have worked up over the years.
Shot placement is paramount no matter what you shoot. I will hold
off until I have good shot placement, any good sportsman will. Only
a hard up slob won't.
As for .243 don't like them , seen to many wounded deer shot with
em , in the hands of a expert they are great but who can boast
they are a expert.
For big game, bear, moose ect. I use a wsm and always wait for
good shot placement.
Remember , these animals bleed and feel pain, so do it right the
first time.
