What would be the maximum range you would feel confident shooting at a bull with a .243 Winchester? Just curious. Never thought about it much. Never felt under-gunned either. Guess as long as I felt good about putting the shot through the boiler room, I'd take it. 300 yards or so. Killed bigger stuff with less gun. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

I was really fortunate to actually kill something with so little going for it, but I do like a challenge… Damned nice eating bull there Shrapnel. I will see your 180 ballistic tip, and raise you a 162 gr Hornady btsp from a 7 STW. If the gods had not stepped in and simply killed that bull for me, he would have never died just from that bullet through the aortic arch. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

What would be the maximum range you would feel confident shooting at a bull with a .243 Winchester? Just curious. 300 yards for me, situation right and stay off the big bones. Been done. Lungs are lungs. Animals don’t go far with those punched thru. Not my first choice in caliber however. Osky Thank You for that info. Most guys that I know from PA that go out west for elk, always take a magnum of 7mm or larger.

If traveling a good distance, spending good $$ and on limited time it is probably best to take more power than needed. The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
