What's missing in between? 243. It's great for coyotes to 400 yards, deer, antelope, fun to shoot for women, kids, and old men.

As time goes on it more often becomes my go to gun. I would not hesitate to use it on elk with the right bullet unless I planned on possibly shooting a long way or was after big bulls in heavy timber.


I actually have a 243, just never killed anything with it. I only hunt it on sunny days. It's one reason 243 makes sense for me. Any ammo or components would serve double duty.
