Good point, though I agree the bullet can be a factor, but logically wouldn't be the only factor. A 150 grain bullet with good expansion will always cause more damage than a 100 grain with the same expansion. I don't believe there is a .243 bullet that is more superior than anything made for a .300 in that regard. I'm not saying you won't kill deer with a .243, I'm saying I like the fact the .300 puts them down quicker. the .243 is as accurate a gun as you will get, but I've found unless you hit a deer in the heart which is not always possible, you may be in for a follow up shot or two. |

"I don't believe there is a .243 bullet that is more superior than anything made for a .300" No argument here, I agree 110% |

certainly wouldn't argue that fact either. i've been using a 30.06 in 1 way shape or form for my entire life. every deer i've killed except 1 has been with an '06, from 40 yards to 259 yards. the 1 oddball was a 7mag. |

Ah.....The old accuracy vs. power argument being struck up again under another guise. :bash: Gents a busted heart is a busted heart A crushed spine is a crushed spine A mutilated and torn up gut sack is, well, gross but just that mutilated. Most modern rounds in the correct hands do the job. Know your ballistics and anatomy and you can make clean kills. |
