I read where many people have a thing against rifles like the .243, 6.5 creedmoor,
6 mm Creedmoor . Sure they don't have the energy at 500 yrds like a .300 win magnum,
But for deer hunting under that distance, those smaller cartridges are much better.
They bring down the animal with on well placed shot, in the kill zone. Even lung shots. And what makes them better, you can't put your fist thought the shot hole.
My wife grandmother got 14 cows, and 8 bull elk, and uncounted amount of mule deer, all with a lever action .243. l started hunting with a borrowed .243. since 1982 I have only shot one deer I coudnt find.
