I am thinking about getting a .243 or .243 WSSM i got an offer for a stainless browning A bolt for a great price and i have a choice of which one. The rifle will be used for black tail, mule deer, small wild pigs and varmints? They both have over a 1000 ft lbs left after 300 yards with a 100 grain rounds. I have been told you need at least that much to make a humane kill, is this true. Since the foot pounds are close to the same from what i see am i right for thinking the .243 is better. Im sure the WSSM has more velocity. But does the cost really justify the limited slection of ammo. I have a deer rifle already but the deal is a steal and it doesnt hurt to have a backup plus its lighter then my deer rifle and would see plenty of use. It ll put me back for buying an sks but if they make them illegal it really wont matter. Give me your opinions i could use them.
