Here we again,lol. I have posted this before and some of you may not agree(and yes ,I have heard it before), but my brother has hunted moose in northern BC with a 243 for the last 20 years. He has shot over a dozen of them and they have all been one shot kills. So, I would say the 243 is good enough for deer and yotes. This is just a statement, I can`t prove it nor am I going argue the point but to my brother, that caliber works great.
