A rifle that I covet is available from local stock in both 243 and 25-06. My intended use is range practice and longer range field use on Texas deer and coyote and hog. This rifle will be a partner to an identical rifle that I already own, chambered in 270.
Which chambering do I choose? I was all set to pick 243 for its better BC in the heavier weights, but it appears that I need a 1:9" barrel twist to use the 6mm VLD offerings. Once I take those off the table, the differences between the two chamberings are not nearly so clear....
