I’ve shot maybe 8 deer with and 3 large pigs with a .243, my dad has shot probably the same number with a .243 and 6mm remington, and my uncle has killed probably a dozen deer and two dozen pigs with a slow-twist .244 Remington. Between us we’ve used everything from 85-100 grain bullets and haven’t seen much difference in terms of killing power- everything seems to die immediately or make it about 50 yards. Internal damage is always massive, but the more explosive bullets often don’t exit and leave terrible blood trails when they don’t, not that it has ever mattered.
