Serious question for those in the know Given the most effective bullet in each cartridge, which would be more effective on deer or black bear- the 22/250 or the 243? I am wondering if the higher velocity of the 22/250 trumps the heavier bullet weight of the 22/250.
You can get good speeds with an 80 or 85 grain bullet in the 243 and see mostly DRT kills.
100 grain Sierra Gamekings will give mostly DRT kills in the 243 as well.
The 55 Gameking and 100 Gameking kill deer very well. Not much difference on Missouri whitetails.
60 grain Partitons kill deer very easily too as do 95 grain Partitons from my 6mm.
Place the bullets in same spot and the end result will be hanging deer.
Not sure about the bears though.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
