I don't particularly care for bullets that penetrate a few inches and fragment.
Easy fix !

Personally, I don't think you should have to use premium bullets like the Barnes TSX for killing 80lb does. The only reason I'm doing this in the .250 is because I really like the rifle and it's an excellent shooter.Easy fix !

They are but some have a lot more of it. The average 150lb buck around here would be fine and I took a really nice 10pt two years ago with the .250 but no way would I go after monstrous 250-300lb bucks with a lowly .243 (or .250).To the best of my knowledge, all white tail deer are constructed out of the same materials.
Nothing wrong with the wally world special as they are made in the same place as the ones at Cabelas... lololkowsr- I have a Remington 700 wally world special, with that crappy remington parkerized treatment that is a rust magnet (so I use lots of motor oil on the exterior metal- problem solved) it is the model with the blind magazine. I replaced the cheap plastic stock with a black/grey laminate one from stocky's for $100- it tightened up the action and groups some, and it looks really nice on that parkerized finish. I replaced the plastic trigger guard with a metal one from Brownells. The scope is a bushnell banner 3-9 with illuminated red/green reticle in Leupold mount/rings. Yep, perfect for me.
