Greetings my northern internet friends. I am an Aussie and i want to hunt red deer this year maybe. My first time for deer. Is a .243 in 100 gr. rem corelock through the heart lung area up to 250 yd good enough for a one shot kill? Or better to keep it under 150 yd. I just dunno about this issue.PLS help. Thank you.[:-]

I've used a 243 on our Wi. deer with good results. My son will be using it for his first deer this upcoming season.

haha, funny you should post this in the waterfowl forum. a buddy of mine uses a .243 for whitetail deer and does exceptionally well with it. He swears by this gun.

i thought u was gonna ask if useing a 243 for duck hunting was enuff gun to kill em i was like this guy is crazy or a good @$$ shot!!![:-]

...HEY LOOK,I WOULD NOT DARE TELL WHAT GUN TO BUY,BUT FROM MY
LESSONS OVER THE YEARS I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FOR DEER HUNTING
ALL THE DEER I KILLED I HAD TO TRACK,THAT IS WITH A 100 GRAIN POWER
