Re: Is there any need for the .243 or .25?

in my opinion I think the 243 is a great cartridge. I think for varmints that the 55 and 70 gr 6mm pills are superior to any of the 22's. With 80 to 100gr bullets it is a great long range deer cartridge with proper shot placement. I have killed countless deer with it with all the bullet ranges from 55gr to 100gr.

We had a youth only hunt this weekend for deer here in Kentucky. My nephew who is only 11 years old killed a buck and a doe yesterday, and another doe this morning as we are only allowed one buck in kentucky and two of three does .one of the shots was about 200 yds and the other 2 were 250 yds with an 87 gr hornady v-max varmint bullet.These were measured using a laser range finder. All three shot straight through both shoulders, and all three dropped in their tracks. Although I dont recommend the varmint bullets though. Most of the time I use BT bullets, barnes X etc. they work great. I could go on for a long time about the little 243 but this would get very long.
