Well since there are several that disagree with you. That in fact makes it arguable.


Only because you choose it to be. I'll say it once again, the 243 is a better choice for deer hunting than ANY 223. That's not to say that the 223 won't work, and I know it will because I've killed deer with a 223.............but I've also killed them with a 22LR. Does that mean that a 22 rimfire is a good choice, of course not. If a person want's to use a 223 for deer, I could care less, but I just happen to believe there are better choices available.

By the way, I personally think there are much better choices than a 243, as IMO it should be considered the bare minimum cartridge allowed.
