Mule Deer Shed Hunting Tips - Is It Enough For Deer?
The 243 Winchester has been around for a long time. The .243 Winchester is a necked down 308 round and it inherits the overall good accuracy from the 308.
Bullets from 55 grains all the way up to 115 grain Match bullets are available for the 243. The most popular would be the 60 to 85 grain bullets designed for Varmints and the 95 to 105 grain bullets designed for Big Game.
The controversy over whether or not the 243 Winchester is an adequate round for Deer has been an ongoing one since the round was first introduced. Honestly, I don't expect to settle it here, I'mh just hoping to shed some light on the round and what it is, and is not, capable of.
In the right hands, the 243 is well capable of taking Deer sized game in the the right hands.
In years past, many problems were encountered with the bullets used. Truth be known, te bullets made for the 243 have caused more problems for the round than the power of the cartridge itself.
The problem existed (and exist to a certain extent even today) with the erratic performance of early bullets. There were many stories around about bullets not expanding as they passed through game animals and many problems with the bullets blowing up on impact. Sometimes a hunter would have this problem with the same bullets from the same box of ammo! Mule Deer Shed Hunting Tips
Technology has brought the 243 Winchester a long ways. Cores are bonded to jackets better and the overall performance of the little 24 caliber bullets has risen over the years.
Still, this round is not a beginners rifle. A marginal hit from the 243 can leave wounded game in the field. The 243 Winchester really shines in the hands of a competent rifleman or riflewoman. Many beginners lack the experience to control the "shakes" and wait patiently for the right time to place the first shot where it belongs.
For beginners, there are better light recoiling calibers available that should be considered. Rounds such as the 257 Roberts, 260 Remington and 7mm-08 Remington are all great Deer rounds. Not only that, they are light recoiling and do far more damage than the 243 in case of a marginal hit.
So before you run out and buy a beginning Deer hunter a 243 Winchester, stop and think and then move on up in caliber size. Let the new hunter get some experience under their belts before handing them this little Deer round. Mule Deer Shed Hunting Tips
