Anyone who has issues with the 243 killing quickly and cleanly need only find a mirror for the explanation.
Agree. I've witnessed the landowner's son pummel big mule deer bucks over the past 6-7 years with it and a 95gr ballistic tip. He know's what he's doing.
I would agree. My son shoots the 95 grain BT, and it is one of the best deer bullets that I have seen for a combination of penetration and overall internal damage. He has shot 3 or 4 really nice mule deer with it, as well as several whitetail. He shot a big mule deer this fall at 306 yds in fairly heavy burnt timber. He shot him at the base of the neck, at an angle. The bullet wen t through the neck, the front part of the chest cavity, and went through the very end of the scapula on the off side shoulder. The big buck never took a step. He tipped over upside down, and wedged against a stump. He made a similar shot on a nice buck last year with the same results. Tikka 243. SS 3x9 scope.
