@30.06king , Enjoying your thread. Appreciate getting the good with the bad. Real world experiences. I've shot hares with my 243 when I first got it, off this forum actually, both head shots at just under 100m. The first one was a clean kill at 96m. The 2nd ran and stopped about 30m further away..I proceeded to miss twice with dirt and grass exploding near its head but over the top. It was running up a grassed hill.and I over compensated when I didn't need to with this flat shooter. The missed shots herded it back towards where I shot the first one and the 3rd bullet put a deep furrow in the top of its head between its ears. Most of my rabbit shooting is close to town done with 22lr subs. But I go once a year turkey culling and the 243 has done duty then as well. Overkill? Maybe. But good legs and heaps of fun. Keep the reports coming.
