[QUOTE="broomd, post: 2347568, member: 32933"] Most any cartridge will kill deer including the .243 Daughter shot her first deer with that load (95gn.) solid lung shot. Deer ran 4-500 yards into thick grass and was lost overnight to coyotes. Wouldn't have happened with a bigger round. Decided never again. Not enough shock with that round. Yes, results vary, but at this point we utilize at least 7mm (.284) around here and typically .30 cal. We've never lost another elk or deer, going on 20 animals straight. G/L [/QUOTE]
