I'm hearing many of you doubting the ability of the .243 out to 500 yards. I don't know if this guy was telling the truth or not but if he's not, it's his lie let him tell it as big as he wants to. I have a Remington Varmint Special in .308 and I can stick 3.5" groups at 600 yards with it topped with a Leopold 3.5-10X40mm scope. I also have killed numerous and I mean numerous deer over 400 yards with a .270 and one at 460 yards with a 7mm. I have 2 witnesses on 3 shots over 425 yards. Oh, I dropped all but one on the spot including the one at 460 yds. I'm not trying to start an arguement or brag but if the guy says he got one at 500 yards I'll at least give him the benefit of the doubt.


PS: I've missed deer at 90 yards.........standing broad side
