I'll be hunting with a BAR Safari II in 243 with 80 gr. TTSX ammo next deer season. This is the first 243 that I've owned and can't wait to put it into action.
I also like my 25-06 and 7mm-08 for deer here in Alabama.
I've used 300s and 7mm Rem. Mags but they stay in the safe now that I'm getting older.
I bought a 270 WSM last month and will use it in our big cutover some but the 243 is going to see the most use next season.
