[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 419864, member: 10178"] I have killed a bunch of ground hogs and white tail deer with two different 243 rifles. One was a Rem 700 ADL and the other a Rem 700 BDL Varmint. I would shoot ground hogs with 75 gr Nosler solid base bullet and a few with the 70 gr ballistic tip that had just come out and replaced the solid base and the Rem 80 gr over IMR 4350. I killed some ground hogs at some pretty long ranges for the Mountains of TN. 300 to 400 yards. I have killed a lot of deer in the bean fields of NC with 100 gr Sierra and Rem CL bullets with a bit more Accurate Arms 3100 powder than they give as a max load these days. I would purposely hold my shots to under 350 yards because of bullet energy getting low after that. If they did not drop on the spot they did not go very far. It has been about 15 years since I last used a 243. [/QUOTE]
