[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 524970, member: 28854"] I'm not going to argue that the .243 isn't a great little killer and in certain circumstances I've used my Sako tackdriver to shoot a deer or two and even a hog right between the eyes at 80 yards. I just prefer to go up the ladder with a little heavier bullet for deer and antelope, just like I move up to a Sako and Model 70 in 30-06 when I go for elk. Sure, the smaller calibers will do the job with the right bullet and a well-placed shot, but I'm of the old school to move up the ladder as the game gets bigger and I don't think anyone would fault me for that.
