[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1486520, member: 85987"] With near the same velocities as a 243 why would the results be different. Add in std 8tw and it will kill better than a 9 or 10tw. I have had quite a few 243's mostly 10tw with an 8tw in 243ai. With a 10tw I cut open a boar bear in the 230# dressed weight size range to find what looked like a bomb went off inside it. I ran dogs for a few years and saw about 50 bears shot with all kinds of typical deer guns at close range. That 85grain sierria hollowpoint at about 3250 jellied everything in the front of that bear. It came out near the middle of the back with a front chest entry. The only thing close to that was a 180gk at 3000ish from my 300 bee. That was in the socket of the shoulder and the bone shattered through the lungs and heart. Shot was a treed bear 60-70' from the muzzle. The man who shot it has the jacket and some core we found in the offside shoulder. [/QUOTE]
