    My first rifle was a .243 and I’ve killed everything from rabbits and fox to deer and 300 pound hogs with it. And I now use a 22-250 and I’ve killed just as much. The only people I know that say they arnt big enough for deer are people who cannot shoot accurately enough to kill anything.

      Most of my hunting buddies tell me I should graduate to a larger caliber. They all use larger calibers like 30.06 and 7mm Mag, and call mine a pea-shooter. I sport a Weatherby .243 with Bausch & Lomb scope. It's the darnedest thing that they are always having to track their deer. Shoot mine right between the eyes every time and drop them right there on the spot.

    • @cwinfield1186
      @cwinfield1186 Před 2 lety +4

      I’ve killed many deer with both. They both work fine. I prefer a neck shot with the 22-250 but the .243 for some reason goes straight through without a tendency to actually break the neck almost as if you’re shooting FMJ’s or something. Cartridge I use now is actually 22-243. Sweetest gun I have.

    Its always awesome to see how the clay deforms with different rounds. Its one thing to see what they do to animals/humans/ballistics gel - but the clay really paints a great picture for the pressure and force it imparts upon the target plus the density allows the rounds to work pretty good even if full expansion isnt achieved

Then as I got older, hunting calling solo, primarily @ night; traveling frequently from location to location I desired both a rifle and a shotgun. With all the loading and unloading each night I chose an H&R 12 gauge single shot and an H&R lightweight synthetic youth model shot .243 Win. . This way I can carry both to my stands. Then my g/f can use the .243 in deer season too. Its zeroed @ 75 yards.

    Fun video! Yup, I've shot both deer and prairie dogs with a .243 as well as both deer and prairie dogs with a 22-250. The bullets you used weren't apples to apples because they were each designed with specific performance goals. I'm sure you know that, though. I prefer the 22-250 for rock chucks and prairie dogs over the 243. I prefer the .243 for deer. Heavier bullets for the deer are a good thing. But, in the end, I'd do it with either one for shooting either one, as long as I had the proper bullet for each purpose.

I shot two does in the shoulder at about 60 yards and they piled up right where they stood. I was a little hesitant about the 243, but being left handed, I didn't have any options. As the saying goes... proofs in the pudding!

    • @davidcuriel4519
      @davidcuriel4519 Před 3 lety +4

      Just out of curiosity and I am not criticizing your comment...... How many elk have you shot and killed with the .243? And how many elk never got away that you did shoot? I have a .243 but I would be hesitant to use that caliber for elk or even deer in that part of the country where elk primarily live....the west and the far north. The animals are just so much bigger and stronger out there. Even with proper shot placement, a well made 100 grain 6mm caliber bullet like a nosler partition bullet is not going to be as effective as say a good 140 to 160 grain bullet in 7mm, like the 7mm-08 or the 7mm Remington magnum. I have used my 7mm Remington magnum on elk, mule deer, texas whitetail, texas exotics, and big feral hogs. No animals have ever gotten away. Unfortunately I have lost some texas whitetail deer and some feral hogs when I used my .243 that I shot at ranges beyond 200 yards. The .243 is a great varmint round at long ranges. It is also a great deer round at medium ranges in my opinion. But I personally would never shoot an elk with a .243, but that is just me. The shot placement would have to be near perfect every time in order for the animal to not get away and/or suffer before expiring.

    I actually use the 55 grain Hornady V-max in my 22-250, and it is my understanding that this (being a varmint round) is designed to splinter or shatter on impact, rather than just mushroom and pass right through the animal. I'm certainly no expert, but it is my understanding that they are specifically designed this way to create massive damage inside the game, without damaging the pelt with a huge exit wound. That leaves you with just a "pin hole" entry wound if you are hunting an animal for its pelt... such as a coyote. This is the first time I've ever seen such a clear demonstration of how effective that design actually is-the block of clay illustrates it perfectly. Thank you.

    My grandad always deer hunted with the 22-250. Every time i went with him and he shot one, it always dropped them dead in there tracks. But he always went for the neck shot. Ive only seen him miss once. That was when a doe was about 10 yards from the stand and constantly snorting at us. He missed the first shot. It ran off and came back around behind us 20 minutes later about the same distance and non stop snorted again. The stand was built on old telephone poles so we were way up, but he took another shot and missed again. This time the doe never even ran so he finally just got mad at that old doe and threw a beer at her before she ran off. But i was always impressed with that 22-250. He used it for coyotes, turkey, everything. Never had a problem with it.
