[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 308683, member: 3373"] My comments were not to criticize the 243 for your daughter but more to suggest there is more to a bullet than weight. For 50k years I shot 130 grain bullets with my 270. Shot a lot of deer with 130gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. Also shot a lot of deer with cheap shells bought at Kmart or Walmart or Target's. Now really like 110gr Barnes TTSX's. The bullets I have found in a deer all weighted more than 108gr. and created a very nice wound to the far side of the animal. While Nosler Ballistic Tips worked very well, pretty sure none of them retained even 90gr. of weight. So, what is best for the 243, depends on the type of bullet. [/QUOTE]
