As for the .243 fadin' away, that's purely wishful thinkin', its been chambered in too many popular rifles and has sold well in all of them. Millions of folks have one and use it for both vermin and deer huntin'. It is adequate at both roles, and the standard owner ain't a rifle looney who cares about somethin' else bein' superior.
I agree there. Looking at the .243 win as a in-between cart for Varmit and target shooting mostly.
