[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2690336, member: 116620"] The 243 has it’s place in the hunting world, my grand daughter shot a nice 8 point on my ranch , with me guiding her this last Sat morning.The shot was a heart shot with a soft point cup and core , that I definitely don’t load or shoot . The deer ran a 100 yds in the opposite direction of the other deer, but I had my eye on him all the way through the brush , she thought she had missed and if hunting alone would have left a dead deer in the field. I have trailed and looked for more deer shot with a 243 more than any other cal . I am not criticizing the 243 , with some of the more modern bullet choices of today the 243 is a better deer cartridge of yesterday, it comes down too bullet choice and placement and knowing it’s limitations.
