I have killed a ton of deer and pigs with a 16 inch .243 Winchester and my boy killed his first 10 deer with the same one.

I have a 14 inch CVA Scout Pistol that I?ve killed a couple deer with.

It?s an absolute great cartridge! Truly one of my favorites.

You need a fast twist to shoot heavier bullets. My go to bullet is the 105 gr A-Max.

Kills deer and pigs with aplomb and has never left me wanting. I?ve tried other bullets and always come back to the A-Max.

In the CVA, with it?s slow 1-10T Twist, I run 85gr Sierra HPBT-Game Kings. They work well but are a little soft. Accurate buggars, though.
