Thanks liltank! I'm in love with the .243! I'm in the process of building a .243 AI right now. Hopefully will be able to push a 105 VLD 3250 fps accurately.
 
I shot a wolf last week at 620 yards, he was facing me with not a very big target. I dialed in my night force and compensated for the radical uphill shot and he went down, then got back up and prceeded off the mountain losing alot of blood. To make along story short, I tracked him for two days over several mountains and had to pull off. Four days later I called in a wolf in the timber and shot him at 20 yards in the chest, he also had a big hole and a broken leg from my first Berger bullet a week earlier. I am really excited about the G7 group buy.
 
We drew a group elk cow tag in Mnt Saint Helens area in Washington state. We all four got a cow within a week, 17000 elk in that area. My shot was 450 to 500 I have a Leupold with balistic drop compensator and held on top of post witch would bethe 500 yrd post. I shoot a Sako 338 win mag with Imr 4350 @68 grains followed by a Barnes 210 grn tsx tripple shock. I have never shot this far even practicing because it can be a challage to find a place to do it. I had my cross hair @ 200 yard 0. It seamed like i was shooting a mile, I didnt think i could even hit the animal. I double lunged it and watched it wabble and dropped it was the greatest thing in the world.gun)

I shot a 5x5 muley in western South Dakota this year at 539 yds with a custom ruger 300 win mag shooting berger 168s on top of imr 4831. This one actually got back up after taking a berger to the boiler room and proceeded to run torwards me for another dose of lead. he didn't like the second one as much.
 
7 pt white tail at 528 yds with a ruger m77 243 using factory winchester ammo. hit a little high, but he didnt move, and was laying in his tracks.

300+ lb wild bore at full run broadside (90 degrees) at 319 yards with my savage 10 FCP and a 10x SS loaded with a 178 A-Max pushed by 43 gr varget from some black hills once fired brass lit by a cci br2. Led him proper and made contact with the middle of his heart, ( to my surprise). Took a few yards for that tank tro stop rolling, but he was spitting distance from where i hit him.
