Enjoyed the article. Page might have sold as many 6mms for the gun makers as O'Connor did 270s and the 25s lost out through no fault of their own.
I've owned several 243s and a 6mm Rem. IMO there's not enough ballistic difference to justify the 6mm Rem if you ever try to sell or trade it. 243s are easy to move, 6mm Rems. seem to take a while.
I remember when several people I hunted with jumped on the 243/3-9 variable scope bandwagon so they could have one rifle for deer and groundhogs. Then they found it was a good idea to have different bullets for each with different scope zeros. That's when a lot of the 243s became dedicated deer rifles.
