My problem with the 243 is that many time folks use the absolute lightest “varmint” bullet to deer hunt with. Then wonder why it doesn’t kill as effectively as their friend Bubba’s 243. I’ve helped a ton of folks blood trail deer shot with a 243. Use a bullet property designed for the job at hand and, bust that oil pump and you won’t have any problems.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
