243's loose way too much energy past 350-400 YDS, 25-06 is the best of all worlds for a low kicker
Curious how many deer you have shot past 350-400 YDS with the 243 and with what bullet?
No, you don't understand what he's saying. The .243 Win.
looses too much energy past 350-400 yds, meaning that it unleashes formidable amounts of killing power once it goes past these distances. As for myself, I've seen this phenomenon on 4 different occasions when one of the idiots that I hunt with tries to kill mule deer with a .223 loaded with varmint bullets. Then I get to send a 100 gr. Partition up the south end of a mule deer headed north at anywhere from 250-450 yds. I've only recovered one of those bullets, three exited the animal completely. I know this because I killed them dead with a .243 Win after loosing all of that energy on the deer.
