    Get a new model 308... it is called a 243. Some times you can never get over that recoil fear. Been there. Started off with a BSA CF2 270. It could slay deer. But it was heavy and I grew to hate that 17lb recoil. Found life with a 243. Put an 85 gr Sierra up front and many deer die. Why make your hunting be an unpleasant experience? Next be real sneaky and ring Darren up in Hamilton. His cans are real quality.My 2C.

    Yep second that, 85 - 87 gr pills and things out front fall over.. end of story.
    I do run 105-108gr pills in my custom 243 but in reality for goat and fallow deer they are too big. The 75 gr work best for them. I have shot a number of meat reds and fallow and goats with 85-87 gr bullets. None travel very far.
