After firing a few test rounds and discovering the little cartridge isn’t […], […] that shine light on relative trajectory curves and power levels of both the extremely popular 243 Winchester and its younger cousin, the 7mm-08 […], […] perfect deer hunting caliber depends on who’s shooting it at what and when. I find that funny and hypocritical. The one thing that I liked about the BST was that you could be a little sloppy with shot placement and still be assured of an ethical kill as the bullet was designed to “blow up” on contact.

“You can’t hunt deer with anything less than a .30-’06” and “You can’t rope a cow off a single rigged saddle.” – So much BS. Maximum case length is 2.045 inches, while the trim-to length is 2.035 inches. It can burn about a grain more of any given powder with bullets of 80 grains or lighter.

I prefer a shoulder shot with larger calibers that result in DRT! The .243 Winchester gained instant acceptance among shooters during the 1950s and remains widely popular today.

RCBS dies were used to develop the accompanying handloads.

I chose the Federal Vital-Shok load with 100 grain JSP bullet to develop the ballistics analysis of these common .243 loads, which are all essentially the same. and 7mm Rem.

Ron,great hunt in S.D.

The .243 Win is no slouch when it comes to accuracy or power on medium size game and is a fine choice for young hunters or recoil sensitive individuals.

This same gun is useful on small predators out to well over 200 yards.

Lung/heart shots are about like deer. DRT, that’s what everyone would prefer but it seldom works out the way we’d like.

(which you can read about here,) Remington reintroduced the 244 Rem. Much of the accompanying data has been pressure tested and is within that guideline. I’ve done that and hit some shoulders but always resulted in quick kills. (KPS = 15.0), Effective Killing Range (EKR) = 205 yds.

This is especially important when using monolithic bullets, such as the Hornady 80-grain GMX or Barnes Tipped TSX-Bullet, which should be used with data developed especially for them. Because the 243 Win. zero for each, 10 mph right angle wind, MV      300yd drop/f.p./drift   400yd drop/f.p./drift, 22-250 Rem.

I believe that if hunters were restricted to us in only single shot rifles there were be a significant reduction in the number of deer lost and left to feed wolves and coyotes. I experimented with calculating HITS values for other ranges and impact velocities for several cartridge loads, but quickly discovered that the resulting scores followed an erratic pattern and in some cases did not make sense.

or so more energy in the 270 load seemed to make no practical difference.

Would not hesitate to say that this cartridge worked quite well on whitetail, mule deer, and most of all pronghorn. I wasn’t clear on my break in process, but yes, normally I clean until I get a clear patch after each of the first 5 shots.

lbs., BC .403, Finally, I evaluated some 80 to 87 grain bullet loads and found that they either did not generate a minimum HITS score of 500 at 100 yards, or got EKRs of less than 150 yards. The advantage of this is usually a smoother barrel that doesn’t foul easily. It was rivaled, early on, by Remington’s .244 cartridge, which was a bit bigger, being based on the .257 Roberts and 7x57mm Mauser.

Win. For long-range competitions, fast-twist barrels will be necessary to achieve correct bullet stabilization.

I’ve had many, many heart-shot deer dash 20 to 150 yards before expiring.

Always amazes me that guys put a .243 in their kid’s or wife’s hands. more.

While impressed, I didn’t want to jump to any conclusions too soon. I have to take the hunter safety class. Why, because the low recoil makes them a better shooter. I have shot a countless number of deer and antelope with a 25-284 and 250-3000 savage and have found the 25 caliber to be more effective and less of a barrel burner. The story is similar at 200 yards. Mine with the 80 grain PSP and the others were taken with the 90 grain bullet Remington puts in their factory loads that looks like a ballistic tip.

He suggested the 95-grain Ballistic Tip. Before I bought it, I solicited advice from Steve Timm who knew a lot about the .243 caliber.
