Seem to remember a daintily built Lady shoots a Thirty Ought Six by choice down Axminster way.

When you grow up Into men you'll see the light. My other gun is a .243. Now that is a perfect caliber
My frail 70 year old bones probably couldn't take the recoil of a .243 Win.

Who hasn't had a .243 and not loved it, even regretted selling it .
Its a cracker.

And proper men shoot 7x57How do you see past the muzzle flash?
I hesitate to admit it, but I've been using only my .243 so far this season, and it's putting fallow down pretty neatly.

there was once a time before creedmoor that a new fangled calibre came out which everyone hated it was a necked down to 270 30/06 case , it was loud and obnoxious (much like it's users) but people grew to tolerate it until now when there are far better calibres available

6 mm remington, with a fast twist barrel!
buuuuut yep, the 6mms for mainly deer is indeed interesting,. That is if one doesnt live in a country, where the min bullet weight or cal size for deer makes the 243s inpratical, or one already have a 6.5 creed or swede, og 57 mauser or another cartridge that basically covers many of the same tasks, with very little recoil too, (especially with the lighter for caliber non leads of today). But yep, if frequently taking longer shots, and need something flat shooting and the 6mms are legal for it. then why not a 6mm rem,6mm creedmoor or 243. Especially if it's chambered in a light rifle
I wouldn't think any other, now.
But I few years ago I did briefly doubt it, which is why I added .270 to my lineup.
But having regained my confidence with the .243 I'm now equally happy using either.

yes yes, but you're forgetting about all the kevlar dressed fallow and sikas out there, my friend. A 338 win mag, using amour piercing bullets, will be necessary in the future.
I've no regrets, despite owning 3 x 243 Win, 1 x 243 Ackley and 1 x 6XC. None take up cupboard space any more. I still have the action from the 6XC and it will become a 6.5 Creedmoor next summer.

If you were to take the time to read some of my earlier posts on this site you will find that I was (and still am) a staunch defender of the .243 when other people were spouting the usual carp about it being not enough gun.
However, I had a bit of a confidence wobble after a couple of fallow bucks didn’t die as quickly as they should have done. I now know that the fault was entirely mine (shot placement errors), but at the time it was enough to knock my confidence and make me think I needed a calibre that had a bit more stopping power.
Having regained my confidence, and got a few more years experience under my belt, I'm very happy to be making more use of my .243 again.
I suspect that many other stalkers have been through the same experience.
I'd rather not be shot anywhere with anything.
For chest shots I'm using 100 grain T-Mantel, and for head shots I'm using 58 grain V-Max Superperformance.

Hello mate, Was the Need to change shot placement, and regain confidence in the stopping power of the 243, tied to going non lead ?
