[QUOTE="Frank in the Laurels, post: 754822, member: 8845"] There's no question about it that this cartridge can drive those thin little 6mm slugs about as fast as anything can make them go... I would imagine no animal hit in the lungs with a 107 bullet traveling at those speeds would run very far HOWEVER.. a hit with a poorly constructed bullet to a shoulder or even a rib at those velocities could cause an animal some serious suffering until you got there... Also, with that much powder being burned in a .243 bore the throat couldn't last long and I'm not sure it would be worth the effort.. maybe a switch to .264 or 284 would serve you better and the barrel life would be considerably longer.
