Shooting turtles? 243 ain't enough for deer. It was a good round 30 years ago for hunting, but deer these days are different, they seem tougher.

Yep, I don't understand how you can kill anything on the planet with a 243 but it's not enough for a Lil ol pine goat.

I'm telling you, it ain't enough gun. Minimum should be at least a 308 for deer hunting

I hope you can read my sarcasm. 243 is a deer killing machine. Lucky, you better let me see it when you're finished.

I will. Any 308 case cartridge will work. 308, 243, 7mm-08, 260
