bl00dtrail-- Sure would like to be able to sell the .243s, but common sense and fear keep me from doing so. My Belgian made Browning BAR will NEVER be for sale as long as I am drawing a breath and I still like to trot out the M77 Ruger in .243 with the 58 gr. V-Max bullets and blow up a prairie dog or two when I'm out. After 5 or 6 shots, it goes back into the rifle case and I start shooting the LOW RECOIL .17 Remington and .204 Ruger so I can see the action and reaction in the scope!!!!
Besides, everyone seems to "know" that the .204 Ruger and .17 Remington are not nearly enough for consistently downing coyotes, except for some 15 to 20 yard shots and even then you get "runners" on about every other shot. That may mean I have to trot out my trusty old M77 Ruger in .243 to be able to put down those coyotes and NEVER experience any runners /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
