or an IN coyote gun, or KY whitetails, or WY antelope, or just a super accurate MOA gun to shoot at the range

Lots of options and we both know the .243 is much too good of a cartridge to be relegated to a door stop =)

I understand the municipalities input, lots of areas in jeopardy of being closed to hunting which is not good. I hunt some of these types of "urban zones" so this of importance to me.

You can now use that 300 yard .243 as a ground hog gun or a door stop....

What was looked at hard was municipalities that are concerned over "projectiles", MANY of these communities would have closed the door on deer hunting over a centerfire rifle.

While I am an advocate of using the centerfire rifles because of today's technology in other hunting tools ........... this was the correct decision.

I heard six weeks ago the "die had been cast". Just had to wait for the official announcement.
