Andy,

If you thought I was arguing in my last post, I wasn't. That post was just meant to say that sometimes people just do not agree on things, but they end up working for both of them. I love my .300 Win Mag on whitetails, others think it is too much gun. Others swear that the .270 Win is the perfect deer cartridge, and I have one of those too, but I just don't like it. Others swear by the .22 centerfire rounds. Personally, I wouldn't use one, but if those people have good results, so be it. Others swear by head shots, still others swear by neck shots. Me, I won't take either of those shots unless there is nowhere else to shoot at on the deer and I am starving or it is a neck shot and one heck of a buck.

I can go on and on, but I won't. If you say the .243 with 80 gr. bullets works for your son, I'll believe you. If my first kid is a boy, you can bet that I will be doing the same thing as you, but I'll just be using the 100 gr. bullets. Might even use a Barnes bullet that is a little lighter because they are made to be shot lighter. Who knows.

I don't argue about everything.
