[QUOTE="Mausermeister, post: 1679868, member: 7725"] The .243 Win is almost my favorite deer cartridge, second only to the 6.5x55. With 100gr bullets a good shooter can drop deer with boring regularity out to and maybe past 400 yards. As [b]shoota280[/b] stated above, it is not for the pie plate or milk jug shooter. I personally think it is a poor choice for a child's beginning rifle as is is the .223 simply because very few children nor most adults can shoot precisely under the pressure and excitement of a deer hunt. It doesn't matter how small a group you can shoot at the bench if you get buck fever and the .243 is not a forgiving round with a poorly placed shot especially past 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
