[QUOTE="screech, post: 91638, member: 5135"] I was thinking that. But I just wanted some opinions. I do believe it could be used for up to 500 yrds. Even though 243 aren't very big I have seen a forked horn puched through the front shoulder and exit the other side behind the shoulder using factory 80 grain bullets at 437yrds. I was personaly impressed with this little cartridge. I definantly under estimated this cartridge until I hunted with a family that all they used was 243 for deer. Since then I have seen a dozen or more deer killed with one shot performance. Two over 400 with factory 80gr bullets. After seeing there deer were dropping faster with the little guns with the same shots as my 300's I soon got one for a light pack around deer rifle. But I figured that it was probably good to limit this cartridge to deer closer than 500. Thanks for your input. [/QUOTE]
