[QUOTE="INVICTUS, post: 2339728, member: 38297"] The best round for shooting anything is generally the one you can shoot consistently and accurately. Marksmanship is what kills, no magazine add ballistics. I have tracked many 125 pound white tails hit poorly with a 300 win mag because the shooter had both eyes closed prior to the gun firing. I’m pretty sure the second largest Grizzly ever killed was shot with a 22 rim fire at about 5 yds. Now that an exceptional case but it illustrates the point. Pick something you can shoot, you’re comfortable with and know it’s limitations. A 243 is great round and I have seen them perform well on game and in TAC matches. I’m pretty sure George Gardner was shooting 243 for a while in matches before designing the 6 GAP. Good on you for getting away from your regular gun and giving the 243 a try. I think if more people did that they would realize, in many cases, less is actually more. [/QUOTE]
