I went macho many years ago, and thought I could kill a deer, even with a pea shooter.....I hung up my Rem. 700 in .30.06, and bought a Rem. .243 auto.....I had to track down the first 5 deer I shot with it.....each was shot thru the heart/lung area, but managed to run over 500 yds., and one even ran nearly a mile.
I shot that gun those 5 times, but it in now sits in the very back corner of my gun safe.....I didn't even want to start my grandson, hunting with it, because of the disappointment factor of losing a deer at a young age.....I handed down my Ruger .270 to him, and his deer don't run off, either.
