While the 243 is not and will never be my primary deer rifle I have shot a few whitetails, one blacktail and one mulie with it. I used factory Remington 100 gr Corelokts and I don't recall ever having to hit one twice. I got rid of my 243 (Ruger M77) when I got a 6.5x55 Swedish. I like the heavier bullet in the 6.5 but I never saw the 243 fail.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
