[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 844965, member: 29174"] An exit hole made by a 130g Berger Classic hunter from a 270wsm at 230 some yards. A 243 will not make a hole like this, the closest it will come to it is with a 85g Sierra HPBT or 87g Berger Classic Hunter. This is why people use a larger caliber for anchoring game. A blood trail is pretty much guaranteed. Deer do not go far with this kind of trauma. A 243 is a good deer cartridge but a well hit deer may go quite a ways without a blood trail.
