why would we laugh at you , the .243 is very capable of taking game , especially in competent hands , also a welcome to the forum , it' s great to see some lady hunters out there :D:D:D

RE: don' t laugh
 

The guy who farms my hayground down in SD, has bigger rifles but does all of his deer hunting with his 22-250. He has a 243 and a 6.5x55 but when opening day comes around he is packing his 22-250. I was never very happy with any of my 243' s for deer. I had a 6mm Remington which would not shoot spire points in the heavier bullets so I shot 100 grain Hornady round nose bullet in it they worked better for me.

bratcat ,
is it a savage bolt , or a savage lever ( model 99 ) ?? just wondering , levers are my favorite action type to use because of the thickets where i hunt .

RE: don' t laugh
 

If you' re happy with your gun, great. A smaller caliber that you shoot well is better than a big caliber that you struggle with. You are somewhat rare on this forum for two reasons:

1) You' re not " magnum obsessed"
2) You admit to missing an occaisional shot. Sometimes I think I' m the only one out there that can' t shoot the wings off a fly at 200 yards! :D

RE: don' t laugh
 

I second what CalNewbie says!

RE: don' t laugh
 

Bratcat, Don' t feel bad, I' ve missed a few over the years. More then I' ll probably ever admit LOL.

This is absolutely correct. One thing that needs mentioning is it is EASIER to call your shots when using a very precise shooting, light recoiling rifle like a .243!
