I've had my .243 ADL since 1965 and reloaded mostly 75 gr hornady hollows for coyote and they seem to always have been good enough for a white tail. Son preferred 100 gr soft for deer.
In the 80's I learned the early ADL's, that must have the safety in - Fire - position to unload the magazine, could be modified to function as the newer ADL 700s with the safety on - Safe -. I never cared for the early magazine unloading feature so I modified it and it's had that mod. since then. That could, on a rare occasion, cause a missed shot but I'll take that chance anytime over a accidental discharge.
