Probably so but as another poster said "I don't think you can include improved calibers" and therefore that's why I chose my 6mm Rem instead of 257 ROB AI !!!! FLEM

Stew you are right, we aren't talking lots of difference here between the 243 and 6...but it all changes one verses the other with barrel length.When graphed my 6mm Ruger #1 with that long tube blows the doors off my Rem 700 ADL 243...so here again we have to consider more than just cartridge.Choice of barrel length can make or break a caliber..Far as I'm concerned any choice of the 6mm.. 25 or 26 bore can't be discounted as long as we keep the size of the boiler room down...example 257 Weatherby..264 Win mag...not small calibers in my view..but the 6mm.. 257 ROB..6.5 /55 "apples and oranges" Think the original post wasn't specific enough.My choice of words would have been, "What small factory caliber new or old is the best for deer at 200yds." Heck we're all right!!! FLEM

Well lets have it ...if it won't hang tell me what u got...remember I've owned two 243's and worked up many loads..chronoed 'em all .. so I have a pretty good idea what's max with most powders and bullets in various barrel lengths...sounds like maybe you have a 243 Ear-ga-splittin-louden-boomer there!!! GRIN-GRIN !!! FLEM
