[QUOTE="DRobinson, post: 1408241, member: 19116"] I have hunted deer around the wet side of the state for years with a 243 never had one run off. However I have changed my ways for no reason other than the 243 is quite old now and I don't want to trash it anymore because its been passed down. I now use a 300 WSM for around here mainly because it has a 24inch barrel its light and easy to maneuver in thick brush. When I hunt on the east side or out of state I use my 7mm ultra mag so I can reach out and touch something. Not that the 300 won't do long range its just the short barrel and it has a clip so its to restricted to load the type of bullets I use to shoot long range. Like mentioned earlier if you are not comfortable shooting the gun it won't do you any good to have a large caliber magnum. Also any idea on the brand of gun your looking for? [/QUOTE]
