One of the most annoying statements I hear is "That's overkill", that has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, there is no such thing as overkill, only moronic people who don't know anything about ballistics.

Why don't you explain balistics to us morons? JA

LOL! Well stated.I think almost any sane person would classify a 700 nitro express as overkill for deer unless you are hunting them in an area where you might also have to stop a Rhino in mid charge. That being the case I think it well establishes the case that "Overkill" does in fact exist.

A guy I know uses a 243 and stops them in their tracks with his. He got a nice six point the other day that dropped in his tracks. Been using it for years and knows howit shoots. I don't think its unethical if you know how it shoots and are a good shooter. There's a positive and negative to almost every method of harvesting a deer.

The 243 is the minumum legal firearm in many states as it should be. In our state the 222 is the minimum legal cartridge. I see the 223 and 243 about equal for deer. I have used the 222 and the 243 both will do the job and both are minimum IMO.

Hey spencer, DEAD is DEAD, and calling me a JA only makes you less credible, I can see you don't hunt with any guns over .40 Cal. There is no such thing as overkill, to call a cartridge like the 45-70 overkill simply because it has a "big ole' bullet" is ridiculous, the 45-70 is not a very powerful cartridge when compared to most magnums, the .338 Win Mag makes the 45-70 look like deer crap, yet you don't hear anyone calling the .338 Win Mag, "overkill" or "elephant gun", why?, because it doesn't have that "big ole' bullet" that the weaker 45-70 does. I love the 45-70, great cartridge, will take any game in NA, but it is not ridiculous to use it on deer sized game with the proper bullet. Overkill is a statement that somebody uses when the gun is .40+ caliber, and yeah I would use a 50 BMG or 700 Nitro on deer if i HAD THE CHANCE, WHY?, becauseI could. Overkill is a term used when a lack of knowledge is present.

RE: Deer with .243
3 years ago, when I used it to take a bear, elk, deer, moose, and caribou. Spencer, I get the impression, that you are maybe 16 years old. If you want to talk ballistics drop me a PM. PS, are you naive enough to believe that the 45-70 when handloaded with 350+ Gr. bullets won't take any game in NA? If you believe that, then there is no use in me even posting again, you proved you lack knowledge. Also, what calibers are you hunting with lately?
