[QUOTE="Beng, post: 733967, member: 37512"] Inferior to loads using heavier bullets in the same case. Inferior in wind drift and energy retention. There is no use to load a cartridge to less than it's capability. If a gun recoils to hard, use an effective muzzle brake or a smaller caliber with heavy for caliber bullets. .30 caliber magnums rarely recoil too hard despite using an effective muzzle brake. Smaller caliber doesn't mean pea shooter though. A .243 using a 105gr bullet is marginal at best, but that has been said time and time again. If recoil bothers you, then use a 6.5mm caliber with 130-140gr bullets for long range and 155gr bullets for short range work. At short ranges you don't need to measure every deer, just get accustomed to the area you're hunting in and measure the distance to several reference points. If you have to be fast use your reticule for compensation. Shooting moving animals at more than 60m is an unnecessary risk imo though. A nice rifle you have there :) [/QUOTE]
