[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2729850, member: 1039"] I have a VTR in .308. The barrel moved as it heated (duh). Cold barrel shot and a couple after were always good. I think I gave it to my daughter when I started hunting with a Remington Sendero in 7mm mag. You know... because south TX deer are soooo big :) Actually... it was because I used to hunt on high fenced ranches and those deer are sooo expensive. I know...I know... shot placement blah blah... I helped a friend look for his son's deer. It was a nice deer and he used his old youth .243, short barrel, on his hunt (in spite of everyone trying to talk him out of it). I literally crawled through what I call the game tunnels in the brush looking for pin head sized drops of blood. I found it about 50 yards (felt like 1,000) of crawling. It was hit in well but the bullet stuck in the opposite shoulder rather than exit and the entrance hole was small. I'll take a heavy TSSX bullet from my 7mag at 100 yards over factory ammo in a .243 in brush country an day of the week. [/QUOTE]
