[QUOTE="Top Cat, post: 530006, member: 4532"] Well... The 243 is capable enough to 1000yds with heavy bullets, and adequate for Moose with the right bullet at a good distance...but maybe not a good choice for Moose at 1000yds. I am not necessarily assuming that is what you were saying here. Within a reasonable range for the type of game involved, the 243 is a good choice as a very effective, low-recoil LR hunting round. As an option to your 243, how about a 6.5x284? That round has gained renewed popularity with several new rifles being offered over the counter. Savage offers it in their LR Hunter model, I believe. It is easy on the shoulder, and hits hard enough downrange...again with the right bullet choice. One advantage of the 6.5 is that there are many good bullet choices available. Those bullet choices are exceeded by the 7mm, but not without greater recoil. TC [/QUOTE]
