Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .243 Win. or .250 Savage?

I am surprised nobody from the Savage Collector forum has kicked in. I have several rifles in .243. The only thing I've ever shot and killed with one are woodchucks. The only deer shot survived. (for sure). I have many Savage rifles in 250-3000. Have shot several deer and NONE walked away. I need to say, I am more impressed with 87 grain bullets by FAR than I am with 100 grain pills. To me, the 87 seems to produce a kill much quicker that a 100. It's just an observation on my part.

This one was taken with a model 1920 with an 87.




And this one with a 250-3000EG. BOTH DRT!!!!!!!!!!!
