Mr. Z,
At most reasonable ranges that Whitetails will be hunted, the .243, with good, 100gr.hunting bullets, will takeANY Whitetail that the .280 will! Some may mention "brush busters," but there IS NO such thing! |

Jag you aint got to tell me.
I have hunted with a .243 primarily for 25+ years. Prolly around 125 kills including hogs. not one has got away or needed a second shot. they dont go far either, I hadONE doe go 100 yds, and this was with a perfect heart shot, the rest drop or go a little ways and pile up. My kids use my .243 with the same results. |
RE: 243 and 280 when to use
i was thinking about using the 243 in more dense hunting areas because it's a lever, or does it matter

RE: 243 and 280 when to use
Mr. Z, the lever gun is probably a little shorter, so it would be good in denser areas, but thats the only real advantage that you would have with the lever gun. I'm not much on "follow-up" shots! Either you get em', or you don't!

I would use the 243 for varmits and the 280 for deer.
