[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 825584, member: 28741"] AI is a few hundred fps faster than a standard 243...Yes, I'm usually impressed with the damage to inanimate things but then I read these stories about deer running off after being hit with even a 7mmRM or 270Win. If 300 yards is too easy, I guess you're saying that going by the velocity/energy numbers, the 243 is a short range gun for deer- under 400 yards. Personally, that would be my max for deer unless there is no wind at all. No wind off a bipod I can hold 3" groups @400 but that's just group size; it doesn't account for the fact that if your first shot gets carried by wind it may be off by several inches. [/QUOTE]
