Lol most folks have their mind blown when I show them I have over 1000 ft/lbs of ke at 700.  The 243 is a deer killing machine....and I can spot my hits with out an annoying brake

After watching 243 drop antelope in their tracks the last couple years, and taking a handful of deer when I was younger with one, it makes me want to build a new lightweight rifle to pack around in 243 or 243ai.

Nice buck, I'd be pleased with him.for sure!

Nice buck! And good shooting too, those were some long pokes! I’m using my 243 and 100 grain nosler or the 95 ballistic tip reloads I have worked up. Nothing long range from this gun as I got to shoot nice 100 yards groups but haven’t gotten out to shoot anything farther. Mind letting my know which bullets you’re using? Ive been on the fence about taking this over 500 yards.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

ive taken the 87 gr vmax to half mile. 95 gr would do better. I’m shooting the 115gr VLDs at 2950 from a 28”1:7 criterion barrel. This is my 3rd 243 barrel.

Yeah that’ll do it! Haha I’m shooting a 1:9.25 22” barrel. Think I’m only gonna have 800 ft-lbs at 450 yards. Congrats on yours and good luck to your buddy!
