[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2186285, member: 9299"] We've shot a fair number of deer with 243's in barrel lengths from 26" to 18 1/2", and bullet selection is important. Several deer have fallen to uncles and cousins Rem 742's and 760's, and of course, our bolt guns. I have a Ruger with a 18 1/2" tube, and with the old Speer 85BT to 100 CoreLokts it performed well. In the longer barrels, Nosler BT, Sierra 100BT, 85's, 95's and even 105AMAX have killed their share. Most were DRT, but 2 or 3 lung shots have run under 50 yards before staying down, but then we have seen that from many calibers and bullets. When hunting deer sized game and within reasonable distances, I never feel under-gunned with my 243's. [/QUOTE]
