[QUOTE="wildwilderness, post: 2185957, member: 33617"] I read a post once on the .243 by a guy from Arkansas and kept track of a lot of deer shot by kids and .243. He had similar results as you with the slower heavy bullets. Said he then tested super fast Ballistic tips and said they did better on stopping deer. Ultimately he recommended getting kids to shoot a 308 (suppressed if you can) and it did way better at dropping deer. I have shot a few deer with the 243 and monos- Barnes and Hammers. Maybe look at the 69g Absolute hammers, said it can get up to 3900fps !! That will give some shock. Also I always aim for bone with the mono bullets. [/QUOTE]
