[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2264311, member: 101859"] Caliber choice comes down to conditions and range. What kind of conditions will you have to shoot in and how far? If its really windy where you hunt like it is here in sw Mt. then heavy high bc bullets help (not light high bc bullets). If you want to shoot longer range, ballistics help. Anything works close in. While a .243 will take any game with perfect shot placement, that shot placement becomes more difficult with distance and wind. So dont just think energy, think hit % in changing climate and windy conditions. [/QUOTE]
