Not out of .243 win it won't, looking at nosler load data you'll top out at around 3200 fps, with 200 yard zero and 1.5" bore to sightline you are knocking on 6" drop at 300 yards....Originally Posted by Elliott
Compare that to a 22-250 running 53gr v-max or .243 running 55 gr Nosler varmint at 3900 fps and they are only just over 4.24".
Either of the above will give you a point and shoot load for a 4" kill zone (generous for a small vixen) if zeroed at 250 yards . provided you can read the wind well, in the dark, as an 8 mph wind at 90 degrees reduces the point and shoot range to about 235 yards! After that you aim bang on and you're out of your 4" kill zone, by 300 yards you're drift is over 6" on a bib shot that's a miss.
110 gr v-max out of a .308 at 3350 fps beats them all!
Or Dave if you really want a lazer have a short throated 6.5-284 built and run 100 gr A-max / ELD match at 3450 fps, make friends with the smith though as you'll need a new barrel every 7-800 rds!!
