Personally, I would never buy a .243 -- it's a cartridge falling in the middle between varmint cartridges and big game cartridges and not being particularly good for shooting either.
Dennis
Dennis wasn't it you who wrote "the only people who seem to have a hard time killing deer with the .243 are gunwriters" or was that someone else? Personally I find little recoil difference between a 100 gr .243 load and a 120 TSX for my 7-08. Dennis, shame on you. He wants to kill deer. THERE AINT A DEER ON THIS PLANET THAT A .243 CAN'T KILL! I can pretty safely guarantee you that I never made the comment -- I suspect it was My Other Brother Darrell (Mule Deer), as it sounds a lot like him. The simple fact is that I don't like .243's, and don't really care much whether other people do or don't. If you, or anyone else, wants to hunt with one, then go for it. But anyone who asks my opinion will continue to hear why I don't like them. Whether they want to believe me or believe someone else's opinion is also of no concern to me. I am, however, slightly annoyed that people without a clue as to what I did or didn't say seem to feel free to accuse me of something I didn't do, and want to pile "shame" on me. Figure reality out first, fellas... Dennis

Dennis Jeeze. OK, my mistake, sorry for the mixup. That's why I asked if it was you. No reason to get the undies bunched over an opinion from either of us.
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated
