I shot one with a 7mm another with a 300 Weatherby a third with a 300 Ultra Mag and one with a .243. The .243 did the best job dropping the buck in its tracks and with minimal damage. I bought replacement capes for the other three.

I'd much rather still be using the 25-06 than losing him, but he lived a full life and just missed making his 89th birthday by five days!
for this years hunt in wyoming,Im thinkin of using my ruger .243 with the hornady superformance sst factory loads,,,how does this combo work out at longer yardages{any input},,Im thinkin if its real windy of pullin out my 7mm mag w 150 gr bullets,but the last 2 animals i got with my 7mm really got some herendus meat damage in the shoulders,,,have shot my 7 mm out to 600+ yrds but have never tried my .243 out past 400,,,will a 95 gr .243 have enough knockdown out at say 500? the .243 appears to get wind drift much easyer than the heavyer 7mm bullets.appreciate all inputs.
