[QUOTE="blackco, post: 142768, member: 7356"] You know what I LOVE about this site; NOT ONE PERSON EVEN QUESTIONED THE USE OF A 6mm/243 FOR DEER/ANTELOPE!!! No one baggs on what others are doing!!! I absolutly believe that the 6mm/243's are a GREAT round for deer and antelope. I agree that you can probably kill them as far as you can hit them with the 6mm's. My daughter kiled her first 2 deer this year; the first at about 100ish yards and the second, a big-bodied mulie, the far side of 300yards. They would have fallen in their tracks if she would stop shooting them in the heart so they do that 50yard death run. I've killed many deer and a few caribou out in the 400 yard area, (bang-flop) the only problem is how far I have to haul them back. My dad has killed several deer in the 600 yard area with a 243. Again, his kid's (my) problem hauling them back. How far you can hit them when you are hunting is the limiting factor with the 243/6mm for deer and antelope. [/QUOTE]
