[QUOTE="JP100, post: 845652, member: 37880"] Ive shot alot of red deer with my .243 some of these big stags that are over 120kg/260lbs carcass weight(ive weighed them) out to 300yards and I have never lost a red deer to my .243. I am using 87gn Interbond at the moment and would reccomend them. they have great performers. 90% of the deer ive shot hit the deck straight away the other 10% stagger about then drop within 20-30yards. I think a mule deer is more the size of a fallow deer(please correct me if im wrong) and a .243 is the perfect caliber for a fallow deer. As a guide ive seen hunters wound and nearly loose game with.300mags and .7mm rem mags. Ive had jokes about me carrying a toy gun around. BUT when they have a shot with my gun and their deer drops they change opinion. the most important factor is being able to pull the trigger and know where the bullet is going to land. I started hunting deer with a .270 and I had wounded deer and I was a **** poor shot. With a .243 I can pull the trigger with confidence and know ile get good results. You can have too smaller gun but in my opnion you can also have too much gun. Learn to shoot and be confindent in your gun and your capabilities and you will be rewarded with meat on the table.
