RE: best deer gun ?
Anyone who knows ANYTHING about firearms will tell you a .243 is not a great choice at 300 + yards. the 100 grain bullet drifts in the wind alot more than a heavier .30 cal bullet. its common sense. a .30-06 makes a helluva lot cleaner kills when place in the chest area than a .243. thats like saying a .22 will stop a deer better than 12 gauge slug at 50 yards.
