Mule deer spike shot with a Mossberg bolt action .243.  That rifle has taken many a mulie, whitetail, antelope, and elk.  Loaned out a few years ago to a small girl of a family that hunts as the .270 that her father got her was still too much.  He scoffed, but she accepted.  First year she got her mulie, antelope, and elk with it, and has every year since.  Next year will me my son's first time to go out so I am going to have to go get it back. :)

It was a joint effort!   ;)

Me....Savage Bolt Action 30-30, my cousin Chuck....Winchester '94 in 30-30...

I emptied two mags (8 rounds) into him from about 100 yards and Chuck cleared the Winny as well..  Damn thing wouldn't stop!  

I had the pleasure of skinning the damn thing, counted 12 hits...obviously we overreacted...  I was 14, Chuck was 13 or so!

Oh, and my other cousin Ron had hit him the night before from about 300 yards at dusk...

Not proud of that one but it's my first third of a deer.  Got a whole one the next fall with my trusty Savage...a button!

 ;D

Winchester model 70 classic stainless in .243.  I've heard a lot of people claim that the .243 is not enough cartridge for medium sized game, but every deer I harvested with that Winchester required only one shot and ran less than 10 yards before collapsing.  I'm sure shot placement was the determining factor, however I have a friend that can't seem to kill a deer with less than 3-4 shots using a .270.   ??? :-[ ;D  I know a few others that are almost as bad, and they consider themselves good shots.  Pfft!   ::)

I have never taken one, however I have only been hunting deer a few years and have not gotten to go very often.



My buddy, however, killed his first deer with a fixed blade Gerber......... He was putting it out of its misery after it got hit by a car infront of his house. ;)

Remington Model 788 .243, 100 yrds while he was sleeping.  I have never had a problem with knock down power.  I  have even taken elk with it, It all depends on shot placement.
