a 243 is plenty enough gun for deer, some of the biggest bucks i have ever seen were taken by 243 and it drops them in there tracks,, if the shot is placed right then a arrow with a fieldtip will do the job , but some people like to overdo it and use 300 win mags and 7mm rem mags, were if you hit the deer in the tail he is going to fall , what an overkill
Overdo it?? I use to hunt with a 30/30 but recently switched to a 7 mm mag. The reason was I was tired of tracking the deer down because not enough knockdown power. Last deer I killed was a doe at 250 yards, dropped her in her tracks. I would rather blow them up, than lose a wounded animal. And before you get into the shooting placement, I'm a pretty good shot. Not everyone is an expert marksman (including me) with a bow or rifle. If your happy with your 243, then I'm happy with my canon!!!!!!!!!
