If you're going to get a .243, do the smart thing and make it a 6mm Remington instead. Better cartridge in every way. If you reload, that is.
Yes! If you reload! Good luck finding them on the shelf, except around deer season!

Yes I'm aware. I remember for a couple generations every gun writer wondered incessantly whether it was enough for 100 lb deer. Sold magazines anyways I guess..243 is a girl's rifle. just kidding but it is probably the most common rifle that dads get their daughters for their first rifle.
***************************************************************************Hello all,
I have been shooting a Remington 700 chambered in 308 win and am wanting to get into another long gun platform but in a different caliber. I would like to hear your guys suggestions and experiences.
Looking for a bolt action, don't care about cost of ammo, effective distance a plus+

Nosler has brought out in the past few years .26, .28, .30, and .33 Nosler and make very nice Nosler 48 rifles in those calibers
I probably lean towards the .308 before the .30-06 just because I might get an AR10 or some sort of other .308 rifle and I would prefer to consolidate where possible if I were to get one of the older rounds.
Thank you everyone for your input.
Let's mix things up a bit.
300 win mag vs. 338 Lapua
In my opinion the .308 Win is an overrated cartridge. The case is essentially the same case used for the 243 Win. I own rifles chambered in 243, 30-06 and 300 Win Mag. All shoot well, but I love the 300 Win Mag. It shoots very flat for a long ways, and hits hard out to 500 plus yards. An SVL pad reduced the recoil of my 300 Win Mag chambered 700 BDL, down to 06 level. The only downside of the 300 Win Mag is the cost of ammo. I reload, so I can still afford to shoot whenever I want.Hello all,
