Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Goodbye 243 I'm done

Well since I now have a 257 I've decided to snob out and divest myself of all my 243 rifles. There is nothing I can't do better on the deer hunting end with my 257 and on the varmint end the 243 can't touch my 22-250. I've sold most of my 6MM bullets, rebarreled one of the 243 rifles to 22-250 and converted another into a 7MM Remington magnum. Now that the Creed is running rampant we have a much better medium game round in the same action length to pick if you want a short action deer rifle. I give the 243 credit for being accurate but I never liked the case design and when you could have much more by going to the 7-08 or 308 in the same action and style rifle why would you choose the 243? And what is this dual purpose rifle crap, you are trying to tell me you would rather have one rifle than two?
