Look into Hornady V-Max for a .243 varmint round.

I was hoping it wouldnt blow up the hide to bad.. I thought this would be the perfect gun for my daughters deer gun and my varmint gun combo! haha!!
Its not horrible everytime but sometimes it's real bad.

That can be true with any caliber- I've hit bone with a couple shots out of the 22-250 and left some nasty wounds on the exit. 243 would be an excellent choice. :tup:

When i first started hunting i had a 243. it is an awesome all around gun, i shot 3 bucks with it and knocked em all down within 20 yards of where they stood except one that i just barely clipped in the lung that ran like 80 yards. plenty of knock down power and it also doesn't kick too bad which is perfect for a beginner because a gun that kicks can turn away some people. :twocents: i loved mine and the only reason i upgraded to a 7mm ultra is to reach out a little further. i would definitely reccommend it
Those 7mm ultras are nice but the 25-30 lbs of recoil gets annoying after 5-6 shots. I had the STW but sold it.

haha :yeah: no kidding it kicks like a mule! it is a light gun too so it is even worse, my dad wouldn't let me shoot it until i was 11 because of that exact reason but he had a gunsmith put one of those really nice limbsaver recoil pads on it so it is a little better. :IBCOOL: i used to hate sighting it in at the range, but it has grown on me and i dont even care about kick too much anymore, and if you can deal with a 7mm ultra, then nothing really bothers you after. but let me tell you, it has some serious knock down power! drops em right in their tracks. :IBCOOL:When i first started hunting i had a 243. it is an awesome all around gun, i shot 3 bucks with it and knocked em all down within 20 yards of where they stood except one that i just barely clipped in the lung that ran like 80 yards. plenty of knock down power and it also doesn't kick too bad which is perfect for a beginner because a gun that kicks can turn away some people. :twocents: i loved mine and the only reason i upgraded to a 7mm ultra is to reach out a little further. i would definitely reccommend itThose 7mm ultras are nice but the 25-30 lbs of recoil gets annoying after 5-6 shots.

i run a 55 nosler BT for yotes and a 95 nosler BT for deer
isnt the greatest choice if you want to save hides, ive put some gnarly holes in yotes with a 243 but as far as being able to pack it all day and shoot it all day its a great choice
