I'm going to go ahead and call bullshiit on this comment. And I'll go further and claim you're talking out of your ass.

As to the OP's question, it sounds like you've got a damn near perfect deer load there.

Call anything you want, but the 243 is a better choice for deer than a 223......and it's not even arguable.


+1 I killed alot of deer with a 223 and 65gr Sierra but the 85gr hpbt out of a 243 is better
