I feel that the 243 ,6mm Rem lack the margin or error in penatratin that a 25 cal 115 or heaver have . A 243 is marginal deer rnd. IMO . I have seen it fail to penatrate far enough to humainly kill .
I dunno where you guys come up with this. I have used a .243 most of my life and I have never had the bullet not pass through the vitals of a deer or hog. Even at 300yds with a crappy core lockt. On the other side of what you said, other guys say
" oh its to fast and goes right through them so fast they dont feel it." Buwahahaha ! to tell you the truth I dont think you all know what ya'll are talking about. one says no penetration the other says to fast through them. A 25 is but a paper thickness bigger and 15 gr. heavier, Oooooo man, thats a big difference. LOL. you guys crack me up. I have killed two deer with one shot from a .243. No penetration, Buwahahahahah!
