Mike, the difference between a .243 caliber bullet and a .257 caliber bullet is about 14 thousandths of an inch. Most deer aren't smart enough to know the difference.
That was good Bob. See sig.
several questions. is a 243 good enough to kill a large buck deer? is there much difference in a 243 and say a 25-06,260 rem, 6 mm. or a 257? i will be getting a deer rifle soon and want some expert opinions. i had a 243 but my grand daughter wanted it so thats why i am looking. thanks, mike w
If it is all about shot placement, why don't we see people using .243s brown bear hunting?I'm serious and not being smart.... I've asked this type question 50 times and havn't got an answer that I'm satisfied with yet.
You will find that bear faster if it was a vitals shot from a 243 over a gut shot 300ultramag

The vast majority of them use small calibers for hunting, even polar bears..22 Hornet.223.243Light,handy,low recoil,easy to shoot. Ammo is cheap.
