[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 806420, member: 41442"] greg i shoot more deer a year then some do in there lives and get a good chance to see what the effectiveness different rounds have on them. You may read of 400 yard kills on deer with 243s and if all the stars are aligned it will do it but in my opinion 300 is a much more realistic max range for it. I guarantee you tha if you shoot enough deer at 400 with a 243 your going to need your tracking shoes on eventually. From my experience about all the standard rounds fall a little short on killing power at 400. If I know when i go out that the range is going to possibly be that far i will about allways take a mag rifle of some sort. Im not saying it cant be done. Ive done it myself but your pushing you luck doing it and its kind of silly when theres better guns available. [/QUOTE]
