It is NOT but the .243 is not as outstanding as some try to make it out... I have never lost an animal with it, but it sure has given less than desired performance on more than one occasion.. But its promoters always have some crap to make it look good.. It is ok, but we have made several good shots with good bullets and it did not kill as it should have.. Say what you want, but facts are facts.. two or three kills or even ten does not prove much..
