[QUOTE="d11r529, post: 1557914, member: 26177"] I find it hard to believe that some say the 243 isn’t good for anything yet it’s the rifle they buy for their wife and children????????? I [B]used [/B]to shoot a 300 win mag to 1000 but after putting a 1X8 twist barrel on my 243 and playing with it - I sold the 300. The drop at 1000 is considerable less with the 243 and the wind drift was about the same (105’s in 243 vs 168 in 300 win mag) plus the 243 didn’t try to knock the fillings out of my teeth. The longest shot on a coyote so far was 1233 yards and the longest shot on a deer (the one in the pic by my name) 1032 yards. On the deer I couldn’t get closer as there were deer between us and didn’t have time or permission to come in from the other side, it was shoot now or let him go. Hit in the spine he dropped in his tracks, when I butchered him the 105 Amax had broken his back and continued on out the other side. [/QUOTE]
