Re: .243 for deer?

With correct bullets, the .243 is fine for moose under good conditions.
A Barnes TSX or GMX Hornady in 80 to 100gr. will work perfectly on moose. Just hole both lungs and they'll give up damn pronto.
Moose are babies if both lungs have through and through holes.
Don't expect to recover any bullets from broadside shots - dead moose and 10 foot to 50 yard blood trail. Don't run after him - sit down and get your heart rate back to normal. He'll want to lie down in 50-60yards and that's it DRT.
