speaking of that, this past weekend I was at the store and i picked up a box of .243 WSSM. Have you seen those little suckers?? it is a VERY funny looking little round. Only about an inch or inch and a quarter long and about as think as a .300...kinda cute really.

yep I just looked at some numbers and the WSSM in .55 grains shoots at just over 4000fps!!!WOW!!

Weatherby has made one for years. The .240 Weatherby. The new .243 WSSM looks like it will be a nice round as well, though I think the Weatherby still has a little advantage in speed.

Win does make a .243 mag, its called a .243 winchester super short mangnum. (.243 WSSM) balistics show it to be a tad better than a regular .243 however their are some saying that they are not getting the ballistics that winchester claims. So it might just be on par with the .243. use a premium bullet in the .243 like the federal 100 gr, sierras and they perform quite well and are very flat shooting.

Winchester loads a 55 gr. ballistic tip thats shooting 3910 FPS for a regular .243 and is super flat shooting like 27" drop @500yds with it sighted zero @200
