What's Your biggest animal whether it be heaviest or horn size taken with a 243?
What were the distances?
Headshots excluded.
I inherited a older savage 243 on a long action that I had rebarrelled and ordered a stock for. It shoots fantastic and I'm really thinking about it being my go to all season long. I've shot whitetails out to 250 yards with one loaded with 100 gr corelokts but they were does. I've killed big pigs with them but they were also heads hots. During deer season I get the opportunity to shoot Aoudad and Axis as well as monster Hogs so I'm conflicted. Being the only Aoudad experience i have was with a 300 win mag. I'm interested on yalls take. Does it just need to be a North Texas gun (Palo pinto co) or can I run double duty and take it to Sonora 4x -5x a season. In doing so I would also change my ammo to something all copper like the gmx or Barnes. Thanks in advance.
