I have trouble taking anyone serious who tries to compare a .22lr and a 243.
I think you know that you are lying to yourself if you think you can hit a deer in the brain with every shot from a .22 and kill it everytime from that distance. I've mishit from closer distances on bigger calibres and hit perfect shots out to 550m but I'd never stand here and say I don't miss.
Try the compound bow mate, can shoot a lot further a lot more consistently!
