243 WSSM For Whitetail Deer
I was watching Guns & Ammo Tv
And they were talking about the 243 Wssm.
It looked impressive.
So do you think the 243 Wssm would be good for Whitetail Deer ?

It won't kill deer any deader than my .243...Plus...the .243 Federal Premium 85gr BTHP
is faster than any deer loading in the .243 WSSM ...I tell my buddies I use a .243 mag...3320fps...So if a hunter wants more speed in a .243..he has it...if he doesn't care about speed...the .243 is plenty...If he wants more gun...get a 25-06, .270..7mm-08..
30-06....
