As I stated before conditions will dictate. The 243 is OK for something like deer out to about 300 YDS. Past that they just don't get the penetration. Lite fast moving bullets bleed off energy too fast past sertain ranges to be effective. I know most people don't shoot past a range they are comfortable with.

He's going to build me a 25.06 on a Mauser action. It will be my first varmit gun as such.
