The deer wasdown but scrambled up again and turnedsideways, and a second fast shot at the frontof tbe neck put him down for good. Thebullet apparently exploded, and no wonder:terrific centrifugal effect on contact with animaltissue. The pulping noticed was a resultof the water in the meat cells being agitatedaway from the center of the bullet disturhsince,as well as the shock cavity which islarge in proportion to velocity. The muliewas very dead.Amber also clipped an antelope at about250 vards, although such a kill is commonplaceand nothing more than should be expectedof the 243. The pronghorn buck waslooking at him, sort of a three-quarteringview. John had stalked the antelope, crawlingup on his belly until he came over arid" and there was the beast. He tried forthe shoulder but the wind was blowing andlie 100 grain bullet connected with the antelopebehind the ear. The antelope droppedin his tracks and the brain cavity was shattered.Tiny fragments of copper were all thatremained of the bullet.The Remington 722 in 244 was used onprairie dogs, as Amber fitted a Weaver KVto it for long-range sniping. Using the 75gain bullet on the dogs, Amber had a goodshoot practically in the middle of a prairiedog village. With a muzzle velocity of 3500f.p.s. and a 400-yard speed of still almost2,000 f.p.s., the .244 in the light bullet issure medicine for chucks. But if you wantto have anything left of the chuck, hit themover the head with the gun barrel: the 244practically pulps them at all ranges hit. Withthe 90 grain load, the 244 is a good deercartridge and certainly effective on antelopeand any lighter game, quoth Amber.There is one thing worth mentioning whenpower and speed are tied up in small packages,and that is, their potential on thickerskinned,larger American animals like bear,moose, and elk. These light cailbers are intendedas combination deer and varmintcartridges, not as "kill 'em alls" for anythingthat walks, flies or crawls.

Y.hunter, devoid of nerve and possessing perfectcontrol and ideal sighting conditions,may kill anything he could call his shots on.But this is likewise almost true of the tiny 22Long Rifle. So the man who takes a 90 or100 grain bullet load into the woods afterbigger game is going to make a fool out ofhimself and wound an animal.The light, thin-jacketed bullets do not havethe hold-togetherness needed to penetrate.Although they possess considerable strikingenergy, it lacks the sure-thing setup of morecommon, big-bore heavy game loads. Someonemay develop a bullet and load combinationin the 244 or 243 that will give theneeded reliability on big game, but rightnow there isn't one kicking around. As is,the two offer you a choice in our leading riflebrands of a good, all-around rifle combiningmoderate report and recoil, light weight ifwanted, and highly accurate long-distancekilling power for chucks to deer.The .243 is now made in the FeatherweightModel 70. Soon it will be available in the"Lever Lightning" Midel 88. Remington'soffering comes in the M722 which is one ofthe least expensive, yet most modernly designed,bolt guns on the market.The .308 case offered another logical choicefor Winchester designers: not only the"standard" in .30 caliber, nor the "smallbore" in 6mm, but the "large bore" in 9mmor as the Big Red W crowd call it, the ".358Winchester." Yes, that's right, .358, not .348,which is the old designation of the tried andtrue shooting load for the Model 71 leverrifles. The .358 is loaded with a trickle ofpowder lighter than the .348, possibly toavoid case stretching which is important inlever-action extraction. The .348 case is madewith a more abrupt body taper than the.358, and an over-expanded .358 in the chamberif the lever-action Model 88 would makethings a little sticky. Both 200 and 250 grainSilver Tips are loaded. Winchester wiselypublishes the 50-yard velocity of 2320 f.p.s.for the 200 grain slug, giving 2380 ft. Ibs.energy at that common woods shooting range.The 250 grainer carries along at 2135 f.p.s.fifty yards from the muzzle, with 2530 ft. lbs.energy. In this new caliber, which is plannedfor the Model 88 in a few months more in1956, the fast acting lever rifle will be suitableeven according to the most conservativeideas, for any North American big game.And one of these days somebody is goingto drag a moose home bagged with a 100-grain 244 or 243 bullet.1.
