.243 In Short Barrels
I've been using 243's since 1972...in all barrel lengths up to 26" and down to 18.5. Handload Sierra's 85gr BTSP with goodly portion of I4350. Shot everything from gophers to elk. Lot of deer 'n antelope. As with anything you must place your bullet well on the larger game. prairie poodles just vaporize.
