    I would have no issue with a 243 or 6MM with Sierra GK or Nosler 87gr Ballistic tips running 2600-2800 FPS .. Killed a many deer this way.. but a 95 gr all lead probably running 1800 to 2000 FPS not so much confidence ..

    There are just some passages from the angling world concerning "light tackle on big game species" that don't translate well or fully to the hunting venues. At a certain point, a few of these practices move from the "sporting" classification into the world of stunt work.......and the game fields are no place for stunts. All of us who hunt or fish have a responsibility for stewardship of these quarry species, including reasonable take methods that assure humane harvesting. A cast .244" bullet weighing 1/5 oz. at 2000 FPS/muzzle is inadequate for deer, esp. for those examples in our northern tier of states or the Canadian provinces.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    well said 9.3
    I have used a 243 win.I have also used a 220 swift.
    Both instances game shot were unobstructed shots in open
    I have since only used either cals one time,not saying it won't work but there are better choices to be had
