Hell of a deer, SKANE.
Funny how folks painfully debate an inch or two trajectory or 1200 vs 1800 ft/lbs of energy at 400 yards. I'd be willing to wager a large sum that no whitetail or mule deer walking the earth will be able to tell you the difference in what killed them if you place a 90 grain Scirocco at 3250 from a 243 WIN or a 100 grain Scirocco at 3575 from a 257 Weatherby where it is supposed to go, whether it is 50 yards or 450. And saying that X bullet with a .xxx BC is better is nothing but gibberish. Bang all the steel at 1000 or explode Pepsi cans at 600 that you want, or wax on about dialing at 1500 yards, but cleanly killing animals at realistic yardages is another chat.
In fairness,the long action Magnum and it's extry 20grs of powder and 5grs less boolit weight,which yields that initial 450fps "advantage"...do ALMOST shoot a full one-inch flatter at the 400yd line with like zero.
So would you say.. the 243 with 90s and 257Wby with 110s is a tie game for hunting 400 yards and under?
