[QUOTE="iknowftbll, post: 1403202, member: 47997"] I know this is an old post and several have replied already. I like a .30-06 as much as the next guy and I am likely one of the single most able-bodied men on this forum. For me it is a matter of efficiency. Here in Virginia the vegetation renders a 250+ yard shot unlikely. A .243 will do fine inside that range. Sure a 150 grain .30-06 will too, but if i can achieve the same effects with the .243 then what difference does it make? A deer tastes the same regardless of the round that drops it. I like my .30-06 too, but I’m not messing with that recoil for white tail. Not here in VA, anyway. I put a few rounds through mine periodically just to stay proficient with it in hopes to someday be able to use it against some bigger game than white tail deer in VA. Until then the .243 works fine. It’s a matter of preference. [/QUOTE]
