[QUOTE="Critter Picker, post: 2339945, member: 111781"] My first centerfire was a .243 in an old mod. 70 . Wish I still had it. I think what hurts the .243 more than anything else is people who don't know anything about firearms go buy ammo and get a varmint type load for deer hunting. Then they hit a deer and with no exit hole, have no blood trail. These people couldn't follow a deer in fresh knee deep snow. They then assume that a .243 isn't enough gun. I saw one such person a few years back. He was sighting in a. 458 Win. mag in a Ruger #3 carbine. He also had such a bad flinch he couldn't hit a 3 ft. X 3 ft. target. My friend shot a cloverleaf with that gun, then told the guy he didn't hate himself bad enough to shoot it again! [/QUOTE]
