[QUOTE="d11r529, post: 1013832, member: 26177"] Congrats on the deer. Nice lookin rifle, should be a good coyote thumper as well. I used to hunt with a 300 win mag but have sold it (because of recoil) and now hunt with 243 win. I have rifles with 1X9 1/4, 1X8 and 1X7 twist barrels and shoot from 85 gr to 115 gr bullets. I'm in central ND and most of the deer I've taken with the 243 where beyond 400 yards, the longest was a doe at 596 yards with a Barns 85 gr X (around 3200 fps), hit through the lungs she ran about 75 yards and dropped. The buck last year measured 163+ and was taken at 554 yards with a 105 gr A-Max (3150 fps), he staggered 20 feet and dropped, through the lungs with an exit hole about the size of a tennis ball. As far as I'm concerned, it's always been about bullet placement, shoot the cannons if you want - not because you think you have to. [/QUOTE]
