Point it right and 243 will get it done. Looks like fine eating. Magnum Man
I may have shot a deer or ten with the 243 using 100 gr Hornady over IMR 4350. That combo still doesn't suck............
I wouldn't hesitate to say my extended family has killed 50 deer with a 243. I was the first to start out with the cartridge in 1975. Every kid, cousin, new inlaws, and younger friends and their kids all used one at some point early in their deer hunting career. Might have even been a couple black bears that experienced its insufficiency.
I bought an SS M77 last year and will dream up some 100 gr deer loads for it this winter. My daughter had our first grandchild recently. I ought to be able to come up with a load in the next 7-8 years till he's old enough to carry it.
