[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1069562, member: 77249"] As a State Wildlife Officer I used a 243 Win. as a tool to work deer with. I have one 243 Win. still in my stable. Close as I could count killed 53 deer with it. Only 3 ever took a step after the shot. 3 in a row stock had warped lost Zero. One went to its knees I shot it again for good measure. My load was 85 gr. Sierra SP. Rem LGR and old Bulk H4831. The 85 gr. Sierra done great with a classic broadside shot. Chest just red jelly. The other 2 243 Win. worked good with 85 Gr Sierra SP and killed many deer. When I got transferred to bear country I quickly changed to a 308 Win. so I could use 165 gr. Nosler P. to break bear down in populated areas. If I would sport hunt with my 243 Win. for deer I would use a 95 gr. or 100 gr. Nosler part. I would feel confident on an angled shot at a nice white tail buck. [/QUOTE]
