I hear ya. Quick searches as i hadn't run numbers on .243 that far in a long time but they are getting 6 dashers in the 3000 fps range and 6-47's in the 3100-3200 range and .243's over 3200 fps with 105's so....pretty sure that's the type of load that will flatten a deer at 1100 as per the other guys post. Completely agree how few could actually do that at that distance with any cartridge period but this is talking about 'can it do it'....yes it can, it's not asking whether or not the shooter can do it
i ran bone stock 6mm creedmoor 108 gr number at 2960 fps launch and was just under 1500 fps at 1000 yards at zero feet elevation. So add a couple hundred fps for a modern .243 set up with a guy that know's his poop and i have no doubt he could hit a deer at 1100 with 1600 fps and a 105 gr.
