[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 795717, member: 229"] meh - a .243 has what some would consider better ballistics than a .308 even though its smaller (though the actual effect on prey when hunting is debatable). I agree that I would go with a .308 but more for the amount of data out there should I ever want to stretch it out for a long shot as well as price (.308 is still damn cheap) and it basically has the same recoil as a .243. .270 is by far not my favorite round. I know there are plenty of folks out there who love it for OK hunting, but IMO its overkill and the recoil isn't worth the trade-off (though its not quite as bad as 30-30 or .30-06). I personally think that with the tiny deer in OK, there's no reason someone wouldn't be able to kill just about anything consistently (except for maybe bears) with a .243. Remember, most of the experts will tell you that shot-placement is way more important than caliber (provided the caliber isn't completely inadequate and with tons of people killing deer with a .243 in OK, I'd say it isn't completely inadequate). Then again, its all about preference. [/QUOTE]
