[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2339786, member: 21641"] The .243 is a GREAT whitetail cartridge, especially inside 200 yards when broadside shots are possible. Chief advantages of the .243 are the minimal recoil, which allows almost anyone to shoot it well, and limited meat damage. There are many other great whitetail cartridges. The .260 Rem, 6.5 CM, and .25-06 have a little more recoil than the .243, but each of these cartridges offers effective ranges much greater than the .243, and increased penetration at all ranges. What isn't needed to hunt whitetails, are magnum cartridges. (Yes, I've used a 7MM Rem and .300 Weatherby in the past to hunt deer, but usually use a .243 or a .25-06.) [/QUOTE]
