I hunted for many years with a 243 and shot most all the deer in the neck. Every deer would fall straight down. I finally bought a 7 mag and started shooting behind the shoulders and most every deer would run a few yards but of course the blood trail was great. I also have to wonder about the deer with the hanging jaws. Was it a bad neck shot or a bad head shot? I would always try for the area just a few inches in front of the shoulders. Another point is the 243 was a 1968 model 700 bench rest gun that was extremely accurate.</p></blockquote><p></p>
