Use a good bullet, and the 243 works great.
The real question nowadays is: what does the 243 do better than a tight-twisted 223?
From what I can see so far, there is no discernible difference in wound channels between 223 and 243, with great bullets in each.

The edge the .243 would have for me is that If I had to shoot a deer at 400 yards Id rather have the .243 in my hands. At 300 it doesn't matter, cause Ive used both at that range, but after that I would prefer a bit more horsepower. JMHO
And lets see...........Ive shot exactly.......one.....deer at 400 in my life, so the little guns do most of the work these days....
