[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1319159, member: 69478"] The .243 is the better cartridge plain and simple. Throw away all the magical killing power and BS surrounding the .25cal and be serious. Run the numbers, better yet I will do it for you. The .243 is more efficient, is cheaper to shoot, more available rifles, more bullets, easy to load for and extremely accurate. Below are two ballistic charts. The first one is a .25-06 loaded with a 100gr SBT at 3350fps. The second is a .243 loaded with a 100gr SBT at 3100fps. Proof is in the pudding, the .355 BC of the .25 is easily matched with the slower .243 but its .430 BC makes up the difference. No more he said, I did, this and that. You want apples to apples, there it is, the .243 is a more efficient and better cartridge overall. It matches and can exceed the .25-06 while fitting in a short action and burning 7-10 grains less powder.... [/QUOTE]
