This tells the story right there, close the thread lol
I'd think that little 80g smoking out of a 243 would be extremely lethal, not my first choice but it will kill way our of proportion to what us old dogs think.
All the new barnes have been extremely forgiving in my rifles, to the point of I don't look for any other hunting bullets period. They like a lot of jump though, not like lead core.
