I've never seen any adult (besides me on occasion) to ever hunt with a 243. 46 yo and My go to carry every hunt gun is a Remington model 7 .243 with timney trigger and reduced recoil Berger hand loads. I’ve killed several deer over 200 lbs with it. I used to hammer down on them with a 243 Abolt and a Simmons aetec scope.

Cause it is the "in" caliber to have now and most who buy it just buy it to say they have it and will come nowhere close to taking advantage of its long range capabilities. Kinda like the drunk who buys a $400 ice chest to keep $3 worth of ice all weekend. . . You would be surprised how many on here are quite capable of making that shot. Yes I would be very surprised to see how many people on here could make an 800 yd shot. Maybe 1 out of a 100. 800 yards is a long way to shoot a deer. 300 yards is longest shot I ever made and I practiced a lot. I would myself like to see it. With the right equipment it isn't that hard to do.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

it ain't that hard to do OFF A BENCH REST AT KNOWN DISTANCES. In the real world of deer hunting it is damn near impossible to do, even for a real good shot. 300 yards is a LOOOOOOng real world shot.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Ive watched people on a shooting range bench rest not be able to hit a 6" steel plate at 300-400 yards. There are a lot more people who cant shoot than those that can.

Where did I say it wouldn’t kill at short distance? There are rounds that can push bullets much faster and speed kills. This isn’t rocket science, why are y’all being so da**defensive. Your words: " Only benefit to the round is out past 500 yards"...like I said, I hate to tell you, but it kills deer just fine at all ranges below 500 yards. Now you're spouting "speed kills". If that's the case, why do so many people pick up a 30-30 when they walk out the door...or .35 Rem...or 7.62x39...or 45-70...or any other "slow moving" cartridge or shotgun? Pretty sure they kill deer just fine with those cartridges, too. The TRUTH is that it's an efficient deer killer for all reasonable distances in Alabama....just like many other calibers. Do other calibers do a "better" job? Well, that depends on your definition of DEAD. Personally, I know of only one definition...dead is dead. So much bs being spouted on this thread....and all because of people being triggered by what people "say" about the round.

Listen to a few of the "1000 yard deer cartridge" claims about a 6.5 creedless, along with a few claims about it being a better hunting round than .270 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, and a number of others, and you might fall in with us.
I've heard it all, I just don't pay it any attention or let it bother me like it must absolutely drive some nuts. I'm a grown adult....I make my own decisions about things, regardless of what others say.

You have to admit some of the Creed humor is good.

I would like to own both rifles mentioned below
Google - is 6.5 Creedmore better than 270 - Ron Spomer has good article out - he did head to head comparison - good read
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self
We need prayer for our country now more than ever

No deer or marksman alive or dead could tell the difference IMO
