[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 3047637, member: 29323"] 100 gr. Speer .243 BC .430 SD =.242 110 gr Sierra MK .243 BC .617 SD =.266 100 gr Sierra 7mm BC .319 SD =.195 110 gr Hondaty .308 BC .256 SD =.166 So, for approximately the same bullet weight/recoil, a .243 has a higher Sectional Density and Ballistic Coefficient. To beat the Match King BC in a .308, you'd have to shoot a 210 gr. Berger VLD. The Speer .243 loaded to 2960 fps has 1036 Ft-lb of energy at 400 yards. Plenty for deer or black bear, or hogs. The Horndady .308 loaded to 3300 fps has 819 ft-lbs of energy. Still enough, but more recoil. The best way to achieve lighter recoil is to shoot smaller diameter bullets. [/QUOTE]
