    I've seen lots of animals shot with them mate and consider the effective range a lot less.
    I think the 243 is a fantastic calibre but realise it's limitations.
    If your where a client hunting with a 243 300 yards would be the maximum distance you'd be aloud to shoot from.
    Hope you find this helpful Remember clean kills are where it's at.
