Guest aaronchase Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I am looking at buying a 243. wssm and wondering if it would be a good deer cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Hunt Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: caliber question Many people kill a lot of deer with the .243 and the wssm is faster and flater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronin Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: caliber question It is a great cartridge. Not much over the standard 243 but there are some minor advantages. I have it in a browning a-bolt for deer and hog. My rifle likes handloaded 85 gr. Barnes TSX the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: caliber question The wife and daughter both use a standard .243 with 100 grain remington corelokts. Very effective on deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: caliber question I have a .25 WSSM and have taken a few deer with it....243 WSSM isn't much different. I'd say with a well placed shot...it would do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: caliber question 243 is an excellent deer round out to 300 yards, it won't break the bank or your shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
