Hi, felt I had to come in on this one. The .243 has often struggled to achieve the legal requirements from a 20” barrel. A few years ago, before sound moderators became common manufactures often made rifles with 22-24” barrels. The fashion for 20” barrels only really came in to assist accommodate the additional length moderators create.
Your problem is a very common one and it’s why BASC petitioned the government not to include the .243 on the list of large calibres that will require lead free ammo.
Your combination absolutely will kill deer very effectively but I have to say I’m very disappointed by the ignorance of some of the reply's you’ve had. You may have been granted a .243 but the Police haven’t selected your rifle of choice. It’s your responsibility to comply with the legal requirements. I and many others have given up our .243’s for this very reason. Although possible, a .243 really needs a longer barrel and a faster twist to meet the requirements and maintain reliable accuracy with a range of non lead ammo.
Please stay legal and for those who openly conspire to continue to not meet the legal requirements on an open forum don’t cry when you loose your rifles.
