According to the charts... you guys are arguing over about 4" of drift at 900 yards... Just pick one and go shoot.
I'm not really arguing either way. Just saying that the .243 doesn't take a backseat to the .25-06, ballistically speaking, even though it costs less in powder, recoil, blast, bullet price, it fits in a short action, etc.
Bump that .243 to AI and get the 105's to 3250fps, and you're really laughing!
But my longest shot on an animal was 942 yards, and was taken with a .25-06 and 100gr MK, so I really have no complaints about the .25, either
