[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 417294, member: 10178"] For deer hunting you really have to be careful about the bullet construction with the 240 WM if you are going to make a closer shot. My buddy has a custom 240 WM on a 98 Mauser action. With 100 gr Sierra Game Kings he shot a deer in the front shoulder broadside at 98 yards and the bullet literally exploded on the shoulder blade and never made it into the vitals but knocked the deer down. He put a quick shot into the lungs after it got back up before it ran off and dropped it. He has since gone to the 100 gr Swift Scirocco and they work very well. Another thing he mentioned is that cases are hard to find and VERY EXPENSIVE. [/QUOTE]
