I am SO happy! My little 110 243 did its part a half hour ago. Spotted movement, which I thought was a leaf, but turned out to be the ear of a medium size doe bedded in some raspberry canes. I could make out her flank, so I put the crosshairs to her and BANG!
She rolled over , kicked twice and checked out.
The 95 grain SST, driven by 44 grains of H4831sc, went in just under the spine, pulverized 2 ribs, thrashed both lungs and the heart and exited. My range finder said 96 yards.
Now 1 deer does not make a pattern, but I have hit deer with bigger ordnance and got runners with similar hits. I was rather worried what the little 243 would do.
Not worried anymore...
