I would have confidence in either my 7mmWSM or my 25-06

Why? The 243 has a flatter trajectory and more enrgy then a 308win.
out to 500 yards as aA Navel & Military test have proven!The 243 was actually created by necking down a 7.62mm NATO case,a.30cal. or(308).[
(Winchester figures). The .243 is more lethal at 500 yards than the 5.56mm NATO (.223)or 7.62x39 (308) are at 200 yards!

I think most people realize that the 243 is a necked down 308. The article state that the 243 has more nockdown power than the 223 and 7.62x39 (not the .308) the 308 is the 7.62x51 and not a 7.62x39.Im pretty sure the 243 isnt more lethal than a 308

I don't have any experience shooting at a distance of 400 yards,so no I wouldn't shoot.I would do my darndest though to get within a range I am comfortable and confidant with.

Would definetly shoot. Have had one oppurtunity like that in Montana, killed a big 8 point at 456 yards with a 7 mag.

I wouldn't be the first buck that I have taken at 400 yards. I have no problem reaching out and touching them at that distance with my 7mm mag.

I voted yes. I shot a deer once at almost 400 yards with a 270. I shoot long distances pretty regularly and depending on the wind and shot angle I would shoot.

At 400 yards its not hunting IMO. Thats shooting. You might as well put a super high powered scope on your gun and stay home and shoot out of your windows at the deer on your property a few miles away. Not hunting.
