You might wanna bump that up on the .25-06 AI....I'm between 3300-3400 fps with my Berger 115 load.
I wouldn't rule out using the .243 for your deer hunts. there are plenty of guys who use the .243 in my area here in Kansas to hunt whitetails. its a good round if you can hit um where it counts.
That's how I am about my 7mm RemMags....For me and whitetails, it just works. It's the one caliber I've harvested the most deer with over the years.I'd have to agree, I've probably harvested more deer with a .243 than all my other rifles combined. It works just fine

I will get a lot of grief but why a .243 AI ? I have a 6mm Rem which is between a .243 Win & the .243 AI and you won't have to waste bullets fireforming cases. I really think if you think it's to far with 6mm Rem you would not take the shot with a .243 AI just saying. I am like most here, I'm fine with my 6mm Rem to a little over 500 yds but when I think a shot will beyond 500 yds, I pull a different rifle out of the safe.
