[QUOTE="H-BAR, post: 27581, member: 1281"] I think that the you should use whatever would inspire your confidence in a good hit. I have a hard time believing that a deer hit in the boiler room with a 243 will run off unless he was already full of adrenaline from being spooked before hand or a poor choice of bullets that don't expand properly. I have used a 223 for most of the deer that I have shot and have yet to have one get away from this gun. I have had one get away from a bigger gun due to poor bullet choice where after someone else shot it on the run with a shotgun-His deer I guess-Oh well. I believe this though about small calibers that you have to be more proficient at shot placement and be more selective about the shots you take. I also believe that small caliber weapons with the lesser recoil inspire better proficiency in more shooters. Keep in mind a deers head isn't much smaller than a gopher heck with a 243 you might be head shootin' them out to 800yds. [/QUOTE]
