The reason those ladies are taking animals with the .243 is probably the same reason I do: lower recoil. I don't think I'd sit and shoot that rifle all day, but it is pretty easy going on my shoulder. I haven't tried Youngest Son's 30-06; I like the .243 and for Texas deer, it's fine.

But not even with a Moment of Zen would I try to take down an elk with it...unless he was 50 yards in front of me, maybe, broadside.... maybe not then either.
