100 lb. Whitetails
Larryjk, I wasn't tryig to make any kind of argument. I agree that .243 caliber is marginal for whitetails. The long range shots that I mentioned are sort of contrived. We orchestrate these shots to add a little interest to the hum drum chore of thinning out does for popularion control. These does usually weigh 100 lbs. or less on the hoof.
Those 95 gr. BT's do work well also on larger (150 lb.?) bucks that I usually take at 150-200 yds. I strive to hit right in the shoulder if I can. Normaly there is complete penetration with a good exit wound. That may ruin some meat, but the animal will drop right on the spot or maybe run 50 yds. if I do my part.
I agree with you. If I was after larger deer, I would definitely want more gun.
