Is a .243 a good caliber rifle to hunt with
Yes. A .243 is a good caliber rifle to hunt with. It does not have a huge recoil and you can place your shot accurately. It will not pass completely thru a hog, but with the damage it causes, that does not matter. It will also put a deer down in a heart beat. I have killed everything I have hit with my .243. It may not pass thru to leave a blood trail, but if you drop the animal in its tracks, that won't matter. I currently use and will use a .243 to hunt with.

A .243 is more than capable of downing a deer or a hog and is a great beginner high power.John Jackson
My favorite aspect of a .243 is how flat is shoots. If you're shooting over open fields it's a spectacular deer rifle.dalton bailey
its a good rifle but if you want just a little more power use a 7mm 08 like me i have droped ever deer from 25 yards to 100 yards really good gun but sometimes bullets are hard to findkraig cullison
you could go a little bigger with a 308. or a 25-06.Tim Maxim
I believe with the right bullet and load the 243 is a spectacular all around rifle.douglas bobbitt
my son uses one and the only thing i saw with it was when he would hit a little twigg it would throw his shot way off and i mean a little one.outher then that it is a very good gun.
