My interests are leaning toward the .243 Winchester lately, as I have never owned one before. Seems that I read and hear a lot about it being great for "beginners," "youth," and "lady hunters"

I'm sure this is a formidable cartridge for "seasoned adult men" as well, I just know very little about this round.

I would love to hear more about this chambering from hunters who use this round on big game, particularly, whitetail. Tell me about the advantages/disadvantages of using it for whitetail hunting. Any favorite bullets that work better than others? , etc...

School me please, and thank you.

.....well, maybe, if it looks like wood
