Technically it has.

I've killed a grand total of one doe with my 243. 50ish yards, 100g Power Points, bang flop. If does and 1-2 yr old bucks were all I wanted to shoot in a field somewhere, I'd use it. In these mountains of rocks in Jackson county, I'm not chancing it with a 243. 308 minimum for me and I'm thinking about putting together a 35 Whelen.
