[QUOTE="ntg, post: 515636, member: 32568"] I'm w/ Roy. I'd take something that will hit harder. In a perfect world it would be a heart/lung shot under 100yds...and a 243 will do just fine for that. I've seen/had lots of problems w/ a 243 (hunting friend's not mine) hitting a muley and not taking it down quick. They were not ideal shot placement, but I've seen more powerful cartridges fair better when shot placement wasn't ideal. I'd take a 243 if it was all I had, otherwise I'd take something bigger for muley. I can say a 243 is a great long range coyote round. Don't have any experience using it on anything else. [/QUOTE]
