[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 835032, member: 2736"] +1 If used properly I will do the job. I have killed many deer with a 22/250 but I also passed up many shots because I knew that conditions and shot placement were not good enough fos the light weight bullet. If I were hunting under perfect conditions and had no issues with retrieving the game after the shot I would not hesitate to use a 243. But as everyone knows most of the time conditions and shot placement are not the best and a larger caliber is recommended. The larger caliber bullets can improve your chances under poor conditions and possibly make the difference if you encounter that once in a lifetime trophy and don't feel like you should make the shot with a small caliber rifle. In heavy brush,(Poor tracking/recovery) high winds or long ranges the edge goes to larger bullets with more down range energy. There is little very chance of having to much rifle, but a high risk of having to little when the chips are down. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
