According to Sierra...the people that make the bullet...They get calls every week on how well this bullet is for deer...Look up their 800 number on the net, and give them a call on Monday...I guess the 21 deer that we have killed with this bullet over the past few years will just open up the freezer door and walk out...As I reported in "Need Advice for .243 Bullet" post...I have killed at least 125 deer with my .243 since 1980...never lost a one...One of my buddies in Eastern NC is a farmer...He has killed 3 black bears with this bullet...one went over 350 pounds...Pretty good for a varmit bullet...I didn't believe it either...until I tried it...As far as me being ethical....Do you have a rifle that has never failed you in 24 years of deer hunting???? It doesn't take a 300 Mag to kill deer...Not if you know how to shoot in the field...One of the worst hunters I know keeps buying bigger guns...He can't admit that he flinches...

Like I said in my original post on this bullet...If ranges over 200 yards are anticipated...this is The Bullet...If ranges are under 200....Any good factory loading in 100 gr are fine....
