Less Opps! More POW!
The .243 Winchester did not become the WORLD's fifth most popular sporting caliber by whim. 6mm bullet offerings grow with every new listings I receive. No manufacturer dare not list a .243 Winchester offering in nearly every model. Is this a fluke? The .243 Winchester is a slenderized 7mm-08. The slender bullet does everything the fatter bullet does, but at more ferocious velocity. One hundred grain premium bullets in .243 Winchester are nothing less than AWESOME in performance. A dead deer cares little what caliber killed it so instantly. Over-kill is easy with a .300 H&H Magnum, along with blood-shot meat. A .243 Winchester has more power potential than any .30/30 ever made, especially beyond 200 yards. Handloading brings out the very best in .243 Winchester loads. .25/06 Remingtons represent a stab at a new market and they are quite great. STILL, they present no NEEDED power advantage or accuracy advantage over the .243 Winchester regarding mere 400 pound ungulates. I don't hunt ungulates, but do pursue Feral Hogs avidly. Big Wild Pigs take notice of my handloaded .243 100 grain Speer Grand Slam bullets, just before they collapse to the ground. The main difference is accuracy due to great ballistics and mild recoil. That combination is priceless and deadly. cliffy
