[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 857510, member: 32685"] I posted a question that got a lot of attention. "So whats wrong with the .243 on Deer" Since then I have talked with several people on and off line that told of the great Mule Deer bucks they have shot with a .243 and some at long range. The moral of the story, as I see it is that if we go by the thoughts of most of the guys that posted on this sight, its all about bullet placement. That goes for almost anything we shoot. Then I was looking at the Hornady Ballistic Calculator and when shooting a .243 AI 105 Berger at 3300 at 675 yards the bullet still has 1006 ft lbs of energy at 2078 fps...................that distance with the 105 through the lungs makes for a dead deer. At 500 yars 1528 lbs and 2560 fps.........................kind of makes it good on Elk too. One hunter on this sight told me that if he told me how many Elk he has shot with the .243AI and at what distance you would be........................ G [/QUOTE]
