I have a nice .243 Weatherby ultralight that I would like to use to hunt deer. I know that it’s a bit underpowered, but I was planning on using barnes triple X bullets. California still requires lead free bullets and these controlled expansion bullets would make up, some what, for the limitations of a 243. Would this work well?
wouldn't even question it....it will bring home the venison at any reasonable distances and probably a little further if you can do good shot placement.
and the 243 really doesn't have limitations.... only the shooter...
