[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1520951, member: 30902"] The old Remington "Woodmaster" 742 in .243 was the center of the centerfire world for us kids growing up. It was "the deer rifle" my mom, brother, sister, and I all shot when we were young until we were ready to graduate to either the 06 or 7RM. It's not the perfect round for much of anything but it was very good for coyotes, bobcats, deer, and antelope for the whole family excepting my dad who alway shot his 06 or 7RM. Too many people get stuck in the rut they fall into where the get told "by a good friend who really knows this stuff", or what someone said on the internet rather than verifiable facts when it comes to what rounds are suitable for which species. It's like we keep hearing that the 6.5's aren't suitable for anything bigger than deer in the US when in fact they are the most popular rounds worldwide or European Elk, Moose, boar, and African Plains game. I've piled up over a hundred hogs a year with the .260 for five years now and I know a lot of folks who've used the .243 with equal or almost equal success and wild hogs are much, much denser bodied than any of our deer species.
