RE: Tired of the 243 debate
All I wanna know is what kinda bullets are being used because unless it has been a direct broadside shot I have had sorry luck with quartering and angling shots with my 243. Case in point...tried to put one behind the ribcage on a deer quartering away....well it hit the back rib done a 90 degree turn went through guts and out in front of rear leg. Before you say its my shooting..I dont think a single rib should EVER stop a bullet and if it does..theres a problem somewhere. This was with a 100 gr Sierra Gameking Federal Premium load. Needless to say what should have been a slam dunk shot turned into an all day chase. That wasnt the only time something like that has happened. Most of my hunting is still hunting and I almost NEVER get a perfect broadside shot.
Im glad you guys like it and glad it works for you....it just doesnt for me.
