Don’t see why everyone calls this a lady or child rifle. Had a Win 243 years ago, wish I still had it. Super flat line of sight that round is smokin fast.

[@FFSteveEMT]

It’s pure fudd lore. Went shopping with my girlfriend get her a hunting rifle. Got her a wetherby vanguard in .243. The gun store owner made a comment along the line of “that’s a great round for women and kids”. The reason I went for .243 was so we didn’t have to buy different calibers when we go hunting.

[@Greop]

@@FFSteveEMT haha, made me chuckle.

[@ronfrance4041]

I’ve been using a .243 BAR as my primary whitetail gun for 16 years. NEVER had any deer get more than 40ft after being shot with that round. Most less than 20ft. Also I have never found any lead in them, always a through and through shot. I also worked for a deer butcher for 5 seasons to become a better butcher myself and to understand shot placement destruction, and the destruction different rounds cause. After all that experience, I stand by my .243

[@tannerjuch9267]

I think it's a great rifle, I think they call it a lady or kid gun because it's light weight with less recoil than a 308, 300 win or 30-06 etc

[@Aubrey_Yates]

Awesome! A 243 was my first hunting rifle, when I was like 16. A Ruger No 1. I still have it. This should be cool. 👍

[@nathanlambshead4778]

I could kick myself for never buying a Ruger #1. In any caliber. Some years ago I was tossed up with the #1 or a Browning Falling block 1885 in 30-06. I bought the Browning. Loved it, wish I still had it. I preferred the open hammer of the Browning over the internal hammer of the Ruger mostly. But one day I will have one I hope.

[@hunter1609]

Before ballistic calculators we figured our come ups using the drop charts. Divide the amount of drop by the yardage. Example - drop at 500 yds = 60 inches . 60 divided by 5 = 12 . So with a 100 yd zero and turret on -0- you would dial 12 inches up, or 48 clicks with 1/4 moa clicks. Works with each distance and will have you really close. Then fine tune if needed. Just thought I’d share. Keep shooting who_tee_who! And I will too!

[@scottanddebranelson8419]

yeah "drop" has to be realized with ALL guns. pistols, shottys, as well as rifles. and it also has to be learned how different ammo will behave. and how ammo will perform differently in hot, humid vs. dry hot and dry cold. altitude will effect the rounds big time as well. your position will effect where you hit. shooting is a science. 90 percent mental. cause you gotta do everything the same way every time in order to make the correct adjustments. fun stuff.

[@LovingIdaho]

I sighted mine in at the oddball of 150 yards. Most my shots are 100 to 200 yards . After I sight in at 150 , I shoot at 200 yards after find where I am shooting . Then , I move to 100 yards and check where I am hitting there . This is the first hunting season that I will be using my 243 . It sat in the gun safe around 4 years before I decided to put a scope on it . I usually hunt with 308 and a 223 .I have never hunted with a 243 in my 53 years. I bought it because I couldnt pass up the good deal on the rifle .I will be using hornady whitetails or federal power shok . Keep the vids coming . We appreciate them .

[@darkdraggon]

I'm thinking this would make a great series of all your calibers, kinda like the paper plate and clay block series. Also a 200 yard penetration test for each would make a good series.

[@gamerguy247365]

That is about 3" on the 200yards

[@jeremyfrix522]

Really cool way to show bullet drop and not just say this is what happens i like physical experience a whole lot thank you for this caliber in particular 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻

[@ronaldperkins4222]

You just showed why many of us experienced hunters zero their guns @ 200 yards. Ballistic coefficient really don't mean much inside 200 yards or so. A 200 yard zero with that same 100gr bullet hits less than 2" above or below the line of sight out to 230 yards - essentially a 230 yard point blank range. Good enough for groundhog or larger game.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

👍👍

[@edarnold1426]

Go 3 inches high at 100 and you should only be about 3 inches low at about 250

[@homeostasis4me485]

Why, exactly?

[@edarnold1426]

@@homeostasis4me485 Because on deer you have about a 6 inch kill zone on them, and anything between 1 to 250 yards there is no hold over. I can normally tell if a deer is 100 yards or less so I myself actually aim a little low under 100 or right at that since I will be inches high. However if it's 300 yards I just need to aim a couple inches high. Actually anything from 1 to 300 is in the kill zone on a deer. Always check ballistics with your gun and the ammo that you are using though! My barrel is actually 26 inches so I'm getting a extra 70 feet per second over a standard 24 inch barrel, and if it's a 22 inch barrel deduct about 70 fps. I actually wouldn't know why he is using a 100 gain bullet on groundhogs though. I always used 80 grains until they came out with the 58 grain bullets. 80 grains were way over kill on woodchucks. I decapitated a groundhog at 60 yards with a 80 grain soft point, and literally the whole thing at least ten feet from where I hit it , and at 220 yards from a back hit I took the whole right shoulder off and opened the chest up to the center of it. The later woodchuck never moved though, as it was eating berries halfway up a fence. I also saw a 80 grain bullet take a deer out at 350 yards. It ran about 50 yards and piled up.

[@Meh-hr7gq]

Or…..you can be smarter and just zero an inch high at 100 and get the same effect. Plus you won’t hit so high at 50-75 yds. 🤦‍♂️

[@sidwalker6902]

Gravity is always the same, on a straight, flat shot, the bullet will hit the ground at the same time as it would if you drop just the bullet from your hand, from the same height as the muzzle, that is why holdover is used, when you adjust the scope for a further distance you are adding holdover. Firing a bullet doesn't overcome the force of gravity.

[@Reach41]

Yup, except when shooting up or down hill, or due east or west, there’s more to consider.

[@garytrainer748]

Thats absolutely correct. Out of the muzzle or dropped by hand from same height will hit the ground at the same time. Some people have trouble believing/understanding for some reason. But gravity is gravity regardless of speed.👍👌

[@russellkeeling9712]

@@2eyedjack433 Please remember with that weight of bullet the faster it leaves the muzzle the faster it will slow down. Don't take long shots at an elk with that weight of bullet unless you can say exactly where on that animal you will hit it before pulling the trigger.

[@Dalesarty]

@@russellkeeling9712 100% agree. A 243 lacks the necessary bullet weight to put energy on target with game that size. Bullet construction would be critical. Something along the lines of a monolithic bullet able to hold its weight and obtain maximum penetration.

@@bigreddog502 yes I agree with you whole heartedly. But my gun selection is limited to a couple of.22 , .223,.243 and a 7MM mag. My son is still scared of the 7 mag and can't hold it on paper. I would rather he took a good shot with the .243 rather than a hail Mary with the bigger gun. We have talked about about ethics. My nephew would I took bow hunting didn't shoot because the deer was 5 yards farther than his max comfort 50 yard. So I'm proud of him holding off, we didn't get a deer by the way. But I told him he made the right decision! We have talked about limitations of the weapons of choice whether it's gun or bow he's got it in his mind. I'm a first generation hunter too. My parents and grandparents didn't hunt. They were turned off to guns having to go to war, WW II, Vietnam.

I zero at 100 and use the BDC that I have verified out to 600 yards. No scope adjustment just count the short cross marks. Range estimates are based on 25 years working for electric coop in rural area each pole is 100 yards apart and still count poles to keep my eyes sharp for range

Great caliber especially for antelope. Out in open space with wind always an issue. 2" high at 100 was always what seemed to work best for me with 100 grainers. Dropped an Antelope at 400 plus once holding at the top of the shoulder.

[@tristantimothy1004]

Jeff, actually thats standard for " point blank" out to 300 w most calibers. Puts just about any spitzer bullet in the 6 inch kill zone.

[@AlabamaGolfer]

I’m with y’all. I go about 1.5” high at 100 for hunting.

[@neiloliver5317]

I use an mpbr zero of 25 yards. That puts me 2.5in high at 100. 1.5in high at 200. Long zero of 220 yards. 3in low at 285 yards. That way I can hold dead on out to 300 yards and be +/-4in using a standard 30/30 reticle. It holds true with my 243 and 308 with very little change in yardages and poi.

[@spencerharris546]

I love the concept of the situation and I know you'll understand mine, for some of us even if our average shot is under 100 we hunt places where we might shoot 300-400 so we split the difference. For me that's 1-1/2 inches high for any caliber with a velocity over 2700fps for a 200 yard zero and in my 308-300 mag rifles that gives me a drop of 5-1/2 to 8 inches at 300 yards with no need to hold high until 237 yards and zero hold under

[@michaelgoains8001]

A perfect example that every rifle needs to be shot at all of your intended ranges.

[@victorwaddell6530]

I don't hunt , but I reload my own ammo for 308 Winchester , 223 Remington , and 6.5mm Swedish Mauser for target shooting . I find a 250 or 300 yard zero the best for field work . It is easier to hold four inches under at 100 yards and hold dead on at 200 and a smidge over at 250 yards than calculate holdover from 100 . Al ot of scopes have duplex reticles where the center crosshair is Four MOA below the the thicker line above and Four MOA above the the thicker line below . Mil Dot scopes have dots equivalent to 3.6 inches above and he center crosshair . Try zeroing your rifle at the top of the fine crosshair where the reticle gets thick , or at the first Mil Dot above the crosshair . I was a US Navy radar operator for ten years , used angles , Mils and degrees on a daily basis .

[@robburton3255]

Before my dad passed away, he gave me his 6mm (.243 cal), and had it sighted in zero at 400 yards. He also gave me about 500 rounds of reloaded ammo that he made just for that gun. And, he made up a chart for all the way out to 1000 yards. It's so dead on that I don't dare mess with it. I've since killed my two biggest deer with it at about 250-300 yards....you just have to compensate for the distances. That gun, chart and ammo give me so much confidence when i'm out in the field.

Excellent. This is the program I was taught in the Marine Corps - ah - several decades ago. This is the military concept of 'battle sight zero' except the allowable vertical variation was 18 inches (height of a human torso). Since most game animals have a smaller preferred zone, the range is a bit more limited. However, as you pointed out, anywhere in that six inch diameter (imaginary) circle is a proper hit on the deer (for instance), it doesn't matter. And one does not have to fiddle with the sights before shooting, nor figure hold over. Good work.

Many times it would hit 8-12in one way or the other, dirt would kick up and tell me how to adjust, many times the hog didn’t move. At 1in high with a hot load I’d be on at 200 and it’s easy to compensate from there.

What your doing is so very important to shooting. Goes for bow or crossbow as well. You need to get out and shoot.

I always shoot my rifles and record my DOPE, but I use the Hornady app a lot while at the range, and if you plug in the right info, it’s pretty accurate. With a good scope, and practice, (and depending on the caliber) holding over is easier than trying to dial it in, within about 300 yards, in my opinion. Over that, use your DOPE and dial it in!

Just don't get that backwards.

I don't know how old your boy's are ,when my Grandson wanted to deer hunt.He was flinching with the 100 grs I changed to 80 gr he was fine, he got his first buck at 50 yds off hand & yes I was proud.

[@stephenland9361]

I sight all my centre-fire rifles for a zero of 200 yards. From .22-250 up to .300 Win Mag, they all seem to be about 1 1/2 in. high at 100, 2 to 2 1/2 low at 250, 6 to 7 in. low at 300 and 22 to 24 in. low at 400. So out to 250, I just aim and shoot. For the rare shots beyond 250, I have to think about the drop at distance (I always carry a rangefinder). For example, at 400 I aim for the boiler room and then move up the animal about 2 feet. I don't fiddle with elevation turret adjustments. It's easier and faster to just aim with elevation adjustment of point of aim. I call it, "elevation windage".

[@eirizarry2568]

I love your channel, I love the paper plate targets…..a hundred of those is just a couple bucks.

[@russellkeeling9712]

With those results the point blank range is not very long on that rifle. Try about 2 inches high at one hundred yards and you will be dead on at 200 yards. 7 inches low at 300 yards. That is if the bullet is traveling at 3000 fps from muzzle.

Excellent demonstration for the .243.

[@twolak1972]

Great little round, like the 25/06 a great multi purpose caliber. Take it for prairie dogs with 60 gr hps on the morning and 100 gr nosler partitions for mulies and whitetails in the evening. Out to 400 yards it's hard to beat. Light recoil and very flat.

[@dalanwanbdiska6542]

Im zeroing my 243 for 300 yards. I got 80 grains gmx hornady outfitters ammo. New savage axis 2 xp 243 winchester, i always wanted a 243 since my bro got one when my grandma bought him it with grandpas will cash. He dropped moose and elk with his 243. My new hunting rifle for 2022.

[@billsutherland7486]

Beautiful rifle, gotta love a quality walnut stock. I’m going to use my .243 Win Weatherby Vanguard (plastic stock) this fall because I missed a gorgeous buck last year due to carrying a 45-70 and not being able to make a long, accurate shot. Cried in my Weaties for a month.

[@inupik23]

I sight my regular duplex scopes on my rifles to the point of aim of 8". In Alaska every game animal I hunt has more than an 8" vital zone. This usually brings me out to around 300 yards for all my guns, 243 included.

[@sapago4166]

Are you trying to say that you sight your rifles 4" high at 100 yards?

[@inupik23]

@@sapago4166 it's different for each rifle depending on velocity and BC of the bullet. There are plenty of apps out there that could help you determine how high at 100 yards.

[@sapago4166]

@@inupik23 I'm not confused about external ballistics. What is confusing is the phrase "to the point of aim of 8"." It makes no sense and I was asking a question for clarification.

Imagine an 8" cylinder. Point of aim, point of impact, within an 8" cylinder.

I shot a model 7 youth model .243 growing up and I would set 100 uard zero to 1 to high. It always worked like a charm.

I use a polymer tipped winchester round apparently to avoid ricochets ( safety bullet!!) But once you know how your bullet flies u are ok ..idea would be to put a couple of tracers in each box of shells so u could actually see its trajectory!!

[@brucebradshaw4748]

when i bought my first 243 i was told by someone who knew what he was talking about, he said if it was dead on at 25 yards, it would be inch and a half at 200 yards cause the bullets crosses the line of sight twice worked for me although i am not a target shooter

[@usmc249]

Always love a .243 video. .243 best for what I need, oh and .44 mag.

[@fsuprodz4]

243 is my favorite rifle and always will be. Killed my first buck with it. Also just saw someone drop an elk with a 243 with a 95 grain bullet. Plus I saw someone else drop a TROPHY BUFFALO with it!

[@franzschmid9079]

Keep in mind, it is very important that you know the correct velocity of the bullet, otherwise you will not get a correct result. Given velocity on the ammo box, are most time not that what you get out of your rifle (barrel length etc.)

[@Appalachianamerican67]

Drops under the hit you'll need to harvest deer after 200 yds. Keep that in mind friend. Great video.

[@davidabernathy4553]

Well now that was a interesting video and I have always realized that the drop is significant based on distance beyond zero. So what I do is just compensate by raising the crosshairs just a little when I get out to around the 200 yd mark and it's always worked for me pretty good, whether I'm shooting a 308 or my 30 ought 6. I would like to see that same test on either a 308 or a 30 ought 6. It would also be interesting to see that same test done on a 30-30, because a lot of people hunt deer with a 30-30 including myself.

Thanks for this excellent video. I have always been curious about the drop of high velocity cartridges zeroed at 100 yards. The .243 seems to be a fine intermediate cartridge.

Great vid! That’s near enough exactly the same gun as I have 😍 don’t use it much as it’s loud and the ammo is real expensive here in the uk! I mostly use a tikka t1x, with no wind it’s pretty much pinpoint up to nearly 250yds, but don’t nothing bigger than a fox
