[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1295313, member: 95235"] A .243 drops deer as fast as a 300 win. mag... Tap the brakes here. This is silly anecdotal evidence. Sure a head shot deer with a 22 may drop faster than a gut shot deer with a 300 win., but they are far from equal. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but we have to be careful with the advise we give. Give yourself a little margin for error. What if the shot placement is not perfect? What if the deer of a lifetime only gives you a quartering shot at 75 yards? If I had to go deer hunting with a .243 I would shoot the heaviest, best constructed bullet that my gun would shoot accurately. I love Berger bullets, but out of a .243, on deer, I would want a partition or bonded bullet to make sure I could get to the vitals from an angle. Plus I cannot imagine that there is going to be an exit/blood trail with a 95 grain berger even on a broadside shot so they better not run far. [/QUOTE]
