[QUOTE="longrifle, post: 335601, member: 18979"] There are a TON of hunters I know here in coastal NC that hunt with a 243 and absolutely swear by it. Kill both deer and coyote with it regularly. And it's accurate enough to do some decent bean/field work for the average NC deer and particularly coyote. My only question on the caliber for deer is downrange energy. If you're talking reasonable distances, IMO, deer @200-250 and less, should be no problem. Coyote, a walk in the park! And I know there are people who can stretch and accurately exceed that range .....but that's when I feel the need to reach for a 270 or 30 caliber. You might wanna grab that 308, some reloading equipment and homemade bullets tailored for whatever you're after that day and go hunting!! Pick a spot...a LITTLE spot...squeeze! [/QUOTE]
